You are delight
I want you to remember this moment
if I ever lose the touch of your fingertips
exchanging so many times I love you
I will protect the feeling as we press our hearts together,
beings made not of binary but of ether
Drinking nectar of blooming stars
Spinning our laughs into the night

You are safety
We bandaged each other's wounds when attacked
Living in bodies like ours is dangerous, is war
We trade our battle stories and scars
Taking our presence back from woolen pockets,
unraveling our rage and winding into skeins
Knitting row by row a full soft community,
Inviting us to rest

You are life
You make me feel planted,
stretched toward the next time we will speak
as a sunflower turns, face kissed by the sun
You are a gift that cannot be held, given, owned
too much in the way that confounds men
but always just right
told that you should, you should, you should
shredding them and lining your nest
working, you sing

You are the moon
I set my time by our visits, our calls, our messages
like you in all the universe are brave
breaking the atmosphere of the earth
to join in the celestial dance
you humbly, kindly exist in harmony
you are comfortable in stillness
yet your beauty attracts any light and makes it yours
dancing as you glow

You are thoughtful
Absorbing knowledge like paper drinking ink
You write like the world is transparent to you
glass for you to see more clearly
you hold my gaze like a seer
yet you bend to earth to work
dirt on your hands
You are not glass
Remember that you are this powerful
Remember that you should be seen
Your stories are legends
