Tousled

I stood behind you on the balcony 

and looked at the mountains

through your wind swept hair

The view was beautiful

We walked on the beach

The wind tossed your hair

Like the waves on the sea

The world became ours

The light through the trees

Play on the loose strand of hair 

That fell over your eye

And you are lovely

You certainly look elegant

With your hair done up

It weakens my knees

My heart is proud

As you rest on a pillow

I lose every care in the world

Through your tousled hair 
Life becomes good 

When Two Find Us

I laughed at absurdities 

While we were strangers

You smiled knowingly

When I hear your voice

It is a familiar song

How do we know each other?

Within our hearts we know

Two are actually one

Our eyes search the room

Stirring our souls when they meet

What is the source of knowing?

Is it endowed by God?

Are we adrift in an ocean

And meet by chance?

Is this an ancient gift

From another life?

It is rare and precious

What does it require?

It stirs a yearning inside
Beyond circumstances

Outside of time

This open door

Connects our souls
And two find us
