Swept Away
She came into my life with a broom in hand,
and swept me off my feet - right where I stand.
She swept away my yearning heart’s denial,
with strangely familiar words and a contagious smile.
She swept away sad loneliness,
by holding hands and loving caress.
She swept away my restless days,
with spontaneous dates and her captivating gaze.
She swept away my feeling hopeless and dejected,
to make room for opportunities unexpected.
She swept away my sense of control,
as we were already connected by our souls.
She swept away my concept of time-
with timeless moments intense and sublime.
What else will she sweep away-
what other demons will she slay?
Will she sweep away my fearful laments,
to make more room for happiness?
Will she sweep away scarcity and things redundant,
to make room for a life more abundant?
Will she sweep away my grief and sadness-
will she sweep away my hidden madness?
Will she sweep away the pain I may feel-
will she catch me if I fall head over heels?
