Like the mighty redwood
My love for you
Is massive, indomitable, and lasting.
With roots sinking deep into my soul.
Long after the hate and wickedness of others fades,
Even after we too, are laid in the grave
My love for you, shall grow stronger everyday.
The axes and saws of the skeptics,
All break on my trunk,
The saw teeth shear off, and dull,
And the axe haft snaps,
Not making so much as a dent.
High into the sky
My love rises,
To bask in the rays of your love.
The fires of those who scorn love
Lick at the base
But they cannot so much as singe my love.
You are the nutrient rich soil,
The life giving waters,
And the solar brilliance shining down.
Your love wards off all blight,
You are my earth, my water, my light.
