My Heart

You loped into view
And my senses awakened
Your energy leapt out, and shook my dormant heart
Even before I spoke my name

I’d given up on ever finding you
You only lived inside my mind
In dreams of wolves and seeing-eyes
One who could take my mind gently by the hand
With eyes to see my soul 
and warm it by the fire in yours

You’ve known me from birth to this moment
Your soul’s breath flows now in my blood
Your touch has flooded my mind
Leaving me stunned in your presence 
My heart has found its home 
And every beat belongs to you
