Listening to Sade’s “Kiss of Life” takes me back to our years together.  

I imagine them as the ripples in a pond…dancing about as the lotus and the purple tropical lilies do.

I imagine THAT angel now aligning within my soul

And reaching yours.

Thanking God and you as the calm waves scatter about my mind.

Making me whole and prayerfully reaching yours.

Finally, accepting our fate.
