when the cosmic dust settled
when i touch you
i am in a state of knowing
where i belong
it was all in the plan
the expanding universe theory
from quark-gluon hadronization
rushing into protons, neutrons, life emerges
a particle progression that would eventually
come to rest in the atoms before me
when i touch you
the photon epoch explains
why when i look into your eyes
i see the soul in that light
the door poets speak of
that gives it all meaning
there is no mystery to the universe
when i touch you
all the questions and answers
become one in that touch
where a rose stays a rose
a kiss quickens my heart, vivifies my breath
and so the wordsmith returns
to say in every romantic avenue
we are not promised paradise
it may come with a thorn or two
i will gladly wear such a crown
because i am forever grateful
when the cosmic dust settled
i found myself in your arms
beneath the stars, sun, and moon
created for you at the catalyst of time
