Breath of Love

Love breathes softly 
like a baby at rest
dreaming of caresses 
and mother's warm milk

Love, too, breathes deeply
like a child at play
chasing sunbeams in flight
and friends for all seasons

Our love breathes eternal
like God's divine touch
Our breath became one
As we exhaled vows face-to-face
