JUST LIKE WHEN YOU'RE LOVED

Folder: 
JOURNAL#15

I found my heart in the timeless enchantment

of a soft sweet song

and to its haunting yet uplifting melody

I felt alas to some perfect thing I could belong

I was at first wary  yet in utter awe of its words

not so certain of their statement nor meaning

yet now I have grown like an incredible crescendo

and to a new subtle understanding I am leaning

the singer, she did not know me but explained my

hidden sorrow so well

I entered the realm of paradise through the feeling

that I had finally exited the gates of a very

private hell

for this I have you to thank dear singer

so thank you Debbie

I thank you with the use of a finally full and

happy whole heart..............

(Aug. 23, 1996)
