Second Chance

Here we are again in the center of the desert
Don't know how we came to know a second chance
drowning in a drought of inspiration
thirsty still we both know that we can dance

timid and a tiny bit off of balance
my hands are shaking, heart is heavy beating
I look into the endless sky of your eyes
here and now there is no more retreating

Sands of time are shifting all around us
shards of absence seem to disappear
possibilities are promises in the breeze
and i'm complete now that you're here

You're the water to sate my starving senses
The master of mirage, you take me home
The desert is not as desolate at it used to be
now that I know I am not alone

Here are again in a second chance of romance
and the sands sing a slow song as we dance

A second chance is well worth taking Casarah, even if it only has the potential of being half as beautiful as your expressive and lovely lyric. Your imagery and emotions dance with the rhythm of your poetic lines with passionate grace .. Belated congratulations on your wonderful POTD honors. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
