As One

Living in a gray world,
Not knowing 
The true beauty that 
Exists all around,
Until you pulled me
Out of the shadows
And into your arms,
Held and protected
Where we twirled
Under the night sky
Like stars twinkling 
Reflecting on the deep blue, 
Telling a beautiful tale
Of kindred hearts
Brought together.
Our worlds connected
Allowing me to flourish
With my soulmate.
Like a rose blooming
And each petal opening slowly 
Revealing an exquisite beauty 
Fragrant and radiant
Brightening the world
With a richness so pure
Overwhelming the senses
Yet I find tranquility
All because of you.
And each day 
As the sun rises
My first thought
My every thought 
Burns an image 
Of true enduring love,
Knowing we are 
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Arm in arm
Walking, living, existing 
As one.
