A Love Letter To Casandra

The sweetest dreams of you, float through my mind, On Cassie time, distracted, unraveled, falling backwards through all the memories of our time together…

from the beginning when our eyes met, standing by your car, lost hurt and broken from years of neglect, we took a chance… I thought I was invisible, incapable, unloveable…

You appeared, an angel of mercy and grace without wings… forced to the ground… your offer was impossible I thought to myself as I took your hand in low expectation….

and immediately smileds appeared… soothing softness came from your mouth.. there was healing in your touch…

You began to etch the image of yourself indelibly on my heart… filling my soul like cool water on an empty stomach…color returned to my face… and I began to see beauty in everything around me…

soon I was singing a new song… slow at first… with passion increasing…haunting melody… sweet and sad… and wonderful.. changing key and pitch and then… exuberant..

you are the song in my heart…. I sing the story of you to this day… a complicated arrangement but the chords struck are magnificent, transcendent…and tears flow from gratitdue for the gift that you are…

you are my Godsend… a surprising second coming in the clouds… a golden harp… smooth nylon strings… strung tightly in tune… challenging to my hands… to produce the best sound I can from you…

I pour my heart into your melody… running my fingers over you … caressing, needing… your shape leaning against my shoulder, I hold you … I’m in heaven…

you are the instrument of my expression… giving me the power to make music …producing tones that others only dream of… heavenly themes… original but somehow familiar… heart sweeping …

The song is C A S A N D R A…long and lilting…it flows forth in waves and rolls along the shore at sunset… it sings of forever… and a single moment… and after four years… the best moment is now!
