Radiates my Soul

She sits and plays

Music radiates

Life springs new

Deep inside me


I don't ask why

She changes everything

I just accept it

And embrace her


There in the moment

My heart cries

Tears of happiness

In her eyes


She doesn't fumble

Or change her mind

She follows the rhythm

Line by line


It happens automatically

With talent and ease

In her mind

She lets it be


Sometimes spontaneously

Other times she composes

The music and lyrics

For hours or days


Knowing best

What sounds sweet

She often makes it up

As she goes along


It is to be enjoyed

The purpose of it

I do more than enjoy it

I do more than idly attend


It becomes me

I become it

It always makes me happy

To hear her make guitar sounds


I often quietly walk by

As not to disturb

Does she know I am listening

I hope she knows I care


That her music changes everything

It rearranges me into myself

Time after time

She radiates my life


The sweetness touches me in ways I never knew

She touches me there to

It calls me forth

I don't question why


I eagerly pursue

This sweet life

It is enough

I let it be


Taking only and exactly

What I need

The music

Has no limits


No boundaries

No stopping points

It travels far inside me

To the very center of my soul


It isn't hard to tell

That she fits me so well

But I only say thank you

As I couldn't be more grateful


For the beauty she brings

And the healing that springs

I don't think of it

Not anymore


How I used to be

With her

Pushing

Pulling


Closing the door

Trying hard to forget

As she never

Gave up on me


And I learned how

To let her in

Let her be

In love with me


And all the healing too

As she changed everything

Became exactly what I need

And I to her


It has been a long road

And we have learned

We both finally see

How being in love can be


What has always been

Right before us

But now we can accept it

All for what it is


Accept each other too

Open and honest

Full of love and life

Music radiating from deep inside


As life changes you

For the better

But Love makes you become

Who you already are
