I love the way the world looks
at the end of the day
when there's nothing left to do
but laugh ... and stay

when the sky grows dark
and my heart grows warm
and I know that everything has a place
that nothing in this space could do harm

I love the way my skin feels
in the breeze
first taste of sensuality
through the rustle of trees

There's moments here and there
where I
can't believe there's beauty
so alive!

And the feeling of love,
though I live here alone,
is so tangible sweet
that I feel like I'm home

And I know that I'll wait
forever and then
to feel this feeling
all over again

and if noone can rest in this place with me
that I'll have to stay,
solitary-
the trees, the wind, the earth
and me
