At Night

At night,
when the black sky
blots out my religious ink,
Iwonder if you can
sense my dreams
blending into your own,
subtly and yetso obvious.
Can you feel my heartbeat
in every breath you take?

Wehave long since
conquered and crossed the boundaries
we set sostubbornly,
simply to protect ourselves
from each other.
I can reach foryou now and
feel your presence in my soul.

And at night,
when thestars come out
to play their secret games
over our heads,
I can feelyour dreams
mixing into mine,
and
I can feel your heartbeat
...strong ...
in every breath I take.
