DIANE

Eyes,
brought us to the place
of touch,

... both of us,
stumbling and trying to hold onto
something within ourselves.

Holding you is the end of a dream

come true.

Holding you is the path toward home.

The tears in your eyes
washed away
... the end of a war.

Because of you.

I smile, awhile

in the days
and in the nights.

Because your lips touch me,
hold me.

I am at home.
