Ghazal - a Song Inside

J L Carey Jr
I am fresh picked... when I am in your arms,
A child again - when I am in your arms.

A dove disappears into the white hot
eye of the sun - when I am in your arms.

I am a grain of golden sand dancing
In the ocean - when I am in your arms.

Einstein could never have quantified the
Joy I derive - when I am in your arms.

J.C. - there is a song inside of us
As old as time - when I am in your arms.
