What is this thread
This starlight thread
That spans the impossible distance
Between you and I?

I can’t see it
But I know it’s here
I feel it in my heart
Each time you tug on your end

With your thoughts
Your words, your intention
It calls on me
Like some timeless melody

And I know the notes
Though I can’t make them out
And I feel the rhythm
Though there is no beat

But it’s here
In the tenderness of your touch
And its there
In a carefully chosen word

And with my eyes closed
My body calm
And my mind still
I can hear it

The song of our souls
Echoing out across eternity
Rejoicing at having found each other
Once again

And I am with you
In love and grace

My starlight valentine

Across the impossible spans
Of time and space
