Heart's Rest
copyright ©2001 by Stephen Craig
I heard you whisper
deep within my dream
and I turned to you
striving to reach and touch
the promise on your lips.

I felt your gentle touch
soothing my inner pain
as I drifted alone
in my fitful sleep.
And soon I dreamed in peace.

As I awoke
I looked toward the dawn
and there I found
a magic vision of your smile.
Then, I knew our hearts had touched.

So I took my mask aside
and let you touch the flame
burning in my heart.
And heart to heart
our souls came to rest together.
