My Secret Conversation

My Secret Conversation

In between the night and mornings first light

There is a quiet moment when thoughts of you fill my heart

Never to share out loud, these vision are held soul-captive

My own secret conversation

No one else

In that secret place where I reveal my tender self

Passionate longings give way to visceral imaginations

Life with you,

Love with you,

Death with you

Every detail colored in the magic of our deep sharing

Even the ground beneath our journey reaches up to kiss you

As I reach out to know you

In between the night and mornings first light

I share openly without fear

And in this twilight conversation you are always here

What I see sustains me in that moment

Lulling me to sleep

To embrace this dream of the night

Maybe someday we will have this conversation

In broad open daylight
