Before I burn
This diary,
I will gently
Rise my bent knee
And name you
My humble wishes:
Offer me sanctuary.
Be my peace of mind.
Grant me your summer smile
In days of wintery rain.
I will faint and return
By the grace of your autumn air.
I will beat the wind
That rises tides out of your kind hearted soul.
I want to fall asleep
And feel the sun on my face
Sheltered in your arms,
Caressed by your fingers.
I will greet many days
And reach out many smiles
If the only life I have left
Remains blessed
By your presence,
My love.
