My Heart Awakes

by sloanranger

My heart awakes and thinks about

the time it takes for you- it's tender fate as it waits 

till you come into view.

A sweetened ache and warmth...is kept and felt anew,

and I often wonder, does your heart do that too?

Be still, my love, I say to it, he will not run away –

we'll talk awhile - laugh and smile,

say goodnight and pray.

Then we'll sleep and we'll dream, and we shall not doubt - 

a replay  for the coming day... that's what love's about.
