Afterglow by Arthur Isaacson Lyrics

Looking down into the windows of your soul
as you in love have surely made me whole,
I am suspended in your warmth received
and struggle to find words, your grace extol.

You have journeyed far and yet achieved
a presence closer than by me perceived,
to a place alone I cannot reach
or ever in my dreams I had conceived.

Together we have leapt into the breech
propelled by forces honestly released.
Hand in hand, as we are interleaved
we learn the lessons only living life can teach.

Once joined this way no force can ever cleave
the memories we hold, or grant reprieve
from achings deep within our souls so fused:
As we prepare this wondrous place to leave.

For now our appetites have been diffused
but live to be regained and then reused.
Once born, the love that joins us in delight
becomes the song with which we are infused.
Your face displays the glow of lofty heights
and travels to a place that did excite.
I hunger for the times I know will come
when we will join again in loving flight.
