Vanilla Sky {Terzanelle}

This is my first ever Terzanelle.

--

The soul was like a beautiful lullaby,
From the opening of welcoming windows,
To the loving heart of a vanilla sky.

The warmth so eloquently wraps around us,
As we wait excitedly, holding on tight, clutching.
From the opening of welcoming windows.

Standing side by side, our bodies touching:
Hand on hand, precious heart to heart,
As we wait excitedly, holding on tight, clutching.

No one can pull our embracing arms apart,
As our excitement increases at a loving pace.
Hand on hand, precious heart to heart.

The awakening of a precious new place;
A new image surrounding a brand new day,
As our excitement increases at a loving pace.

Together we surpass this old life, and make our way,
To the loving heart of a vanilla sky.
A new image surrounding a brand new day:
The loving heart of a vanilla sky.
