quite suddenly
you appear before me
and i smile the smile of
a thousand dreams
fulfilled.
you come before me
offering your heart -
quietly -
not wanting to break the spell
that holds us.

we are connected
you and i
through time
and space
transcending realities
lived by other people.
impossible to deny it

i am yours
as you are mine
spiraling toward
the connection . . .

we have connected
you and i
we transcend space
and time
creating our own reality
living by other people.

we are connected . . .
