She Smiled

I see you slowly tonight
And taste the texture of the color of your sky
It lifts the hem of my eyes
To wander in off the path and get lost
In the wordless wondering of your mind
Deep blue
I know that the sea has a floor
But I can't feel it when it drops so fast off the coast
I know that the ropes of our lives intertwine
Like dancing threads of DNA, swirling atoms
I sense the differences with distances from electron
To the center of your proton
I see you cross the room full of people
But they fade into the backdrop of painted curtain, shimmering
In time to your steps as you pass
Gravity pulls people to you as you spin around between
I feel the pull as your moon
As circling long distance astronomical bodies careen out to deep space
I wish to travel those paths
As electrons pulled from molecules create new colors
I need to be part of that blur
Later tonight when we're alone and we've become different people
I will talk with you about the time
And you'll smile at me that smile for awhile

I actually felt her gravitational pull myself, and envied your electrons as they searched for her magic proton... yet she remains omnipresent and impenetrable in her colorful gathering process. I hope your journey to her ventures on unimpeded.
