wonderful

"wonderful"

every time you lift your hands

sure as a dove taking flight

I see the way the shyness wanes —

moves of something finding wings

looking back to meet my fluttering

was it the sun in my eye

or the breeze that lifted high?

something quite so wonderful

something in you that won't explain

a sudden, soaring breath —

something quite so wonderful

along the riverbend

through seasons changing 

rippled waters swirl

nowhere left to hide

between the earth and sky

words and touch lay bare:

where we dare tread

horizon's tightrope —

something oh so wonderful

so, I'll float back

from what we want or fear

something oh so wonderful

You're so wonderful
