Your Breath Sweeps On My Neck

Your breath sweeps on my neck as I sigh in relief. Your eyes show the moon as you look at me. I find peace each time you take me in your arms. I see the sunshine in your smile each morning with you lying next to me. We are the stars, the moon and the sun, as we entwine together. The sound of your heart beat in my ears is a sweet melody. May we never feel the pain of the song of the whippoorwill? Seeing the light shining in the mist of the morning; you sigh with sweet delight. In the darkness; sweet love is made. As your breath sweeps on my neck, as I sigh in relief. You breathe a sigh of happiness for the love that has been there for so long. It has been the eternal time machine taking you from one place to another. The words and feelings of long ago, relived in one night on the phone. Staying in the time of now, will be the challenge. With the strength of the love over several decades, time can only tell. The length of time has shown us how much the sigh of love becomes a sweet song to be sung.
