Reflecting in your hands

carry but a single heartbeat
in my hand
meant for you
to last a lifetime
of loves
look into your eye
see if your dreaming
or just sleeping
a reflection looks back
a long since played tune
a sad song hums
as we remember
and we do remember
and reflect
on better days
on summer days
and cold winter days
bask in the sun
hold each other for warmth
smiles and kisses
under the southern moon
life's and loves
passings and goings
drifting in the soft
resting in your arms
and its all here
held in a single heartbeat
in your hand
