Along the Rhine

Along the Rhine

waters lay still

the dark shadows

of castles

with stories untold.

I stood by the window

Looking out

at the quiet beauty

before me

You opened

your heart

allowing me

into your world

when you held

my hand

I felt

your strength,

your love,

those blue eyes

looking into

the window

of my soul

as I laid bare

my vulnerability

in your hands
