And the world that it transformed.
Urban towers of glass and steel
Melted into warm valleys.
The spinning stars stopped in motion
Our eyes met, time ceased
And quiet forces beyond us
Compelled our movement
Closer together until the gentle touch of our lips

It occupies a place in my mind still
At this moment for all time forward
Driving new dreams of the kiss that awaits
In days yet to come.

Why have you awakened this sleeping soul,
With love's first kiss as the morning bell tolls,
