Kira

There’s this woman I’ve met
She crept quietly into what seemed to me to be
A place in my heart that she was intimately familiar with
At first I was leery, so with I kept her at an arm’s length with my speech
But she continued to reach
And when she touched me I felt helpless
And I felt restless
As she danced through my thoughts
So gorgeous, so graceful

There’s this woman I’ve met
She’s taken my heart to a secret and secluded place
Where hate dissipates and love songs originate
And I don’t know the scenery
And the feelings are unfamiliar
But I’m not afraid, so I gravitate toward her light
She calls and I come, unable to resist
And unwilling to desist
So I move closer because I want to be close to her

There’s this woman I’ve met
I don’t know this woman, but I KNOW this woman
I didn’t see her coming
But I felt her near me
And I was ready to receive her
With all that I am and all that I hope to be
And she sat with me
Saying whatever came to mind
Her words are a different kind
Not hurting, but healing
Nurturing and shielding
My soul from the pain of the past and fright of the future

There’s this woman I’ve met
And I just want to love her
Deeply, passionately, irrationally
And I feel brave in her presence
And saved by her essence
She is the response to prayers I don’t deserve to have answered
So I strive to be worthy
Because I am past grateful
And I know that life is fleeting
And I know that our meeting
Is ordained like the predestined path of the stars
And if she lives on Venus I am ready to leave Mars
To be the companion of this woman I’ve met… forever
