Greatest Fire

A silent sun streaks through translucent window panes
Cascading, intertwining amongst  the scent of new carpet
The warmth is spiritual, welcoming and appreciated
Against the chilled fall breeze and lack of proper dress

Earth alights the fresh canvas of the blank pastel walls
Lined with a floating seashell border, tempting the remembrance of summer
There is no need for reassurance when you’ve been dreaming for so long
There is peace in the lack of furniture and harmony in the echo of your footsteps

The world is floating on its own musical notes this morning
With mid-days’ dreams of sour dough from Atlantic City
I need not close my eyes to allow indulgence in memory
Of scented salt air and the steady life of your guitar

I swear I grow a little stronger and weaker in the knees
Upon seeing you descend the ivory and cream stairs
Excitement fulling your voice and smile, tightly gripping to surreal reality
Your arms suddenly engulfing  me in the strongest embrace, I smile

Philadelphia seems thousands of miles away, with each passing second
My veins and soul swimming with joy and rapture, in the depths of you
I can never find enough reasons to love you, silently with the greatest strength
Or simply aloud, burning with the greatest fire

Laughter becomes our own, teasing those who doubted our future
We never needed understanding beyond our trust in one another
Our life can live on you, music in your soul and heart
I promise to find more reasons to love you
Silently with the greatest strength, or simply aloud
With the greatest fire
