RISING FROM THE ASHES

Gentle rain tapping at my window
Such a welcome sound
Desert drinking up the nourishment
Raindrops dancing away

Here upon my cherished land
So unique a beauty of a different kind
So usually filled with sunny days
Such a lovely dance upon the sand tonight

Devouring up the spiritual rain you bring
Whenever we connect
Finding another dimension to share
No one else could ever compare

Touching the depths of your soul
Opening up the chasm that is mine
Relaxing into strong arms that hold so close
Bonds of a different kind of relationship

Finding within your eyes
Love unending
Sheltering from the storm
Leaving behind the past, the pain

Choosing what touches now
No longer waiting on the unworthy
Rising from the ashes of the past
Into the gentle warmth of the present

Feeling you by my side always
Even when we are so far apart
From each other's loving embrace
I trace the warmth you left upon my heart
