you
are nothing but
the cool breeze
on the hottest of days
drifting off the ocean
smelling of briny
healthy life
inspiring hand-holds
first kisses
and sighs off relief

you
are everything
serene and lovely
about the way that the world smells after the first rain
following a long drought
spreading the promise of new life
children frolicking in the fresh fields
total disregard
for anything
that could try to spoil their fun

but you
cannot see this
i do not understand
why
or
how

all i know
is you
are lovely
and
you
are everything
