Breath

You take my breath away.

It's not the things that you say,
though they are interesting and often
make me laugh.

It's not the way you look,
though you are certainly handsome and
pleasing to the eye.

It's not the way you work,
though you are talented and
impress me with your skill.


You take my breath away.


It's the way that you are.
You are authentic and meet me in a place that
only you can find.

It's the way that you feel.
You are passionate and you invite me into a dance that
I cannot resist.

It's the way that you touch.
Your very essence comes through your fingers
and wordlessly shows me who
you are.


You
take
my
breath


away.

All of You

I'd love to talk to you right now.

Wondering what you're doing in your world
which never stops whirling and moving
and requires


all
of
you.


I'd love to hear your voice right now.

Knowing that today it's saying what it says
in the midst of loving and doing.
Meeting obligations and needs
of the things and people that demand


all
of
you.


I'd love to feel your touch right now.

Aware that at this moment your hands guide your children
and hold your love
and you reach and do and feed and caress them with


all
of
you.


I'd love to merge myself with you right now.

Longing to crawl inside your body and soul
that works so hard, loves so deeply, never stops doing what needs to be done...
and I watch you from inside my mind

from afar,
because I love




all
of
you.

Looks for You

Moving throughout my day...
my life... my world...

My soul looks for you.

Peering between people at work
...the books on my desk
...the cars on the road
Behind the trees and buildings that I pass each day...

My soul looks for you.

There is a commitment to my life and what I do.
And as my life moves along, there is a quiet awareness

Of you........ Your eyes...... Your voice..... Your energy...

that simply oozes into the cracks between the every day events of my passing experiences.

And as I do about the life that I have and that I love...
I cannot stop that,
regardless of what is going on...

My
soul
looks
for
you.
