Language of Nature
Center of the dance floor, the lights dim down
People pair off all around.
I shuffle my feet, look down at the floor
Colors surge like waves on the shore.
Warmth on my shoulder, I lift my eyes
My insides overflow with butterflies.
I hide my nerves and take your hand
Feeling your cool skin like the nighttime sand.
Slowly we sway together as one
Completely oblivious to everyone.
You hold me closer, whisper in my hair
I feel your warmth like the sun's molten glare.
You run your hand down my arm
And I instantly feel safe from harm.
Baby, this is too surreal
Like a magnificent sunset, it doesn't seem real.
I take a step back, search your face
Taking in your features, my heart begins to race.
You murmur my name, I close my eyes
Seeing in my mind a full moon rise.
You move closer, cupping my chin
Fluttering your eyes closed as I lean in.
As our lips touch, I wake with a start
Feeling another earthquake shatter my heart.
