- Love's Cocoon
copyright ©1997 by Stephen Craig
I dreamed so long
of having a different life to lead
but little did I know
how much my life would change
just by knowing you.
I reached
to touch the softness
dwelling on your cheek
and wondered at the tears
that once had been.
And as we turned together
within the timeless
moment of the dance
I yearned to know the secrets
another moment might reveal.
So there
I took your soul in mine
and prayed
to know the meaning
of the way things seemed to be.
For standing
fingertip to fingertip
we wrapped the world about us
as a magical cocoon
and there I learned at last
how to do more than just be.
