brooding oceans stir
awaken with the wind —
as the azure of her vastness
moves from dendritic depths
her river tendrils reach, embrace
and unite with his mountaintops

calling him from windblown caves
she shrouds him in shining snows
a blanket of her love —
and as she speaks his quiet name
with grace and peaceful tones
life floods his empty lungs

and bathing him with mountain rain
she pulls him from the in-between
her salted tears, a lifeforce
that warms his hardened veins —
opening his eyes anew
with the pureness of her name
