Disclosure Statement

She comes to me gently in a dream
My faceless stranger
Familiar to my heart... to my soul

She watches me from a distance
I wander through the bare trees of my past
Surrounded by the fog of my future... so uncertain

She moves closer to me as I stand in tears
Her love reaching out to me
I feel the comfort of her presence... her embrace

She whispers softly against my ear
My mind hears it as thunder
Her voice needs no words... I understand

She lifts me into her arms
Carries me to a tree close to the water's edge
Kisses barely gracing my lips... I surrender

She lays me down on the early morning frost
Her touch lightly searching
My body feels lightning... I respond

We make love until the sun tastes the mist
Then she crawls inside my body like an unborn child
I cocoon her... we are as one forever

-L.C. 1998 (revised 2008) (Note: Ok, it’s time for me to reveal a little secret. This poem is the very first I ever wrote. I do not include the lame excuses for poetry I was forced to produce throughout school! Anyway, when I wrote it, I had not found the soulmate I'd been searching for all of my life, and was ready to give up my search and continue my life's journey alone. I did not knowingly write it for anyone in particular, but I know this was written for you, my soulmate... it could be for no one else. Now that I've found you, my angel, the dream is replaced by reality... )
