As I sit here
Alone in a quiet spot,
I found myself
Lingering at the sound
Leaning forward,
I strained until finally,
I recognized Your voice.
Looking around, surprised
I expect to see You
Of course, my eyes
Did not find You there.
Where could the sound come from?
Slowly it dawned on me
I see You clearly
With the eyes of my heart.
How real You become
And I long to reach out –
But not with hands, no not my hands
I enfold You with the arms of my heart.
As I sit here, alone
I find my self thinking,
I’m not so lonely anymore.
