Within Her Breath

Within Her Breath I heard upon the desert wind, a song that sounds so sweet. It lives within this dry parched land, that lays beneath my feet It grows within the desert palm, and shines within its sun. A song that reaches deep inside, that’s not for everyone. A song I see in eyes so bright, and in that flowing hair. A song that creeps into the heart, and rides the desert air. For if I stop and feel the wind, I know that I will hear. The softness of your bated breath, as I am drawing near. I’ll hear your passion on the wind, and touch your gentle hand. I’ll ride between those swaying palms, upon the desert sand. For I will pick the fruit of love, that lives within the palm. And hear within your gentle breath, a loving desert psalm. by Tom Clark
