The Wonder of You

By Marcella Leff

Your voice is like clear water,

that dripped upon many stones, 

in the mountain woods quiet and silent,

where stillness stood alone. 

Your touch is like flowers

whose aromas invite 

in the sanctuary of my garden,

where there’s quiet in night.

Your gentleness is like balm,

that soothes an angry soul,

amid the stormy sea,

where there was no control.

Your kisses are like lightning

making me tremble from head to toe,

unmatched by its distant thunder,

where rain clouds overflow.

Your love is like a growing fire,

slowly and surely taking aim,

into my heart it settled,

where it burns an eternal flame.
