The dew from the heavens
Gently caressed my dreams
And nudged me softly to the place
Where our eyes had met for the very first time
When we spoke without uttering a single word
Ever so silently
With trembling lips and throbbing hearts
Oblivious to the whole world
Connected only by the rainbow bridge
Emanating from our souls
As if nothing existed at that moment
Save you and me
As if the earth had become mute
Save the sublime tune playing in our ears
Humming the primordial song
Of the sun, the moon, and the stars
Which speak to each other every day
Through the eternal music of love
As it existed from the beginning of time
