The Touch of Spirit on the Body

Inspired by Rumi.

There was one kiss I wanted my whole life
the feel of a spirit touching on mine
I waited, I loved, and stared up at the light
of a moon that couldn’t help but shine.

Spirits come and go as people do
and I have known many very near
they never came as close as you
a belief I’ve always feared.

But looking at the moon tonight
I won’t be living for one thought
and maybe it’ll always be as bright
whether you’re looking at it or not.

My spirit trembled as it felt your touch
It’s not something I want badly anymore
and I don’t believe you need as much
but I dreamt moonlight opened up a door.

I think of you in such a sweet and tender way
that I’m glad I’ll never get the chance to say.
