Tumbling Down repost

 

Letting Go
by Tracey Chattaway

song inspired the story

Tumbling Down

Tumbling down

Into the midnight's glow

You taught my body

Things it did not know.

We kissed until our lips

Grew tired and numb

And smiled out loud

And wondered what we'd done.

In blankets warm

And fireplace paradise

We held onto each other

With our eyes.

And fingers clasped

And arms and legs entwined

We drowned in new love's bliss

Like vintage wine.

As winter wind sang softly

Round the trees

We hummed along

Like starving honey bees.

And all the while

The snow piled up outside

And true love found

It had no place to hide.

We laughed and loved

Till night became tomorrow

And joy replaced our long-held-onto

Sorrow.

Tumbling down

In bed of rumpled sheets

We found the hidden void

Where wholeness meets.

And wrapped ourselves

In warmth that thwarts the cold

Two lonely broken hearts

Became one soul.
