SOFT AS A THOUGHT


It comes in the night

A passing moment

Like a ghost fading across the mind

Love soft as a thought

Then the thought clouded by smoke

Irreversible in its intent

Held close at first

Waiting to be released

With its expression comes risk

Acceptance brings exhilaration

Light and dark combine

A slight touch then passion

The exchange of dreams and ideas

Love ever growing

Spreading to all around it

Soft as a thought
