Slivers are all you say
You can give
But you've already given
Rivers and roads
And vast joy from within.
My heart doesn't need
Someone to scream
From the mountain top;
Just someone who shows up,
And enjoys my company.
This sliver of you
Has already been more than
What I've been used to.
And all that you give,
I just hope I can return, too.
Because what you bring
Is more than just a
Dragonfly searching for
Nectar on a lotus to me.
What you bring is peace.
So while I dance
Around my depths inside,
What I start to feel blooming;
This sliver you share
Is illuming.
