My heart
is not broken
or scared,

it is still
open and
growing
and fertile
to
everything
love has
to offer
and teach.

it is just that
when you left
you took
a piece
of it.

and now
50 years
later or
so.

I realize
that I  
never will
have
that piece
again....

My dreams
see all
of the
spaces inside
you,

and my
thoughts rejoice
in every
thought of
you that
they find.

your eyes
full of
stars.

and your
whispers of
moments
that seem
to last
forever
in your
smile.

and each
morning
I am
the greater
because
of you.

and each
evening
when you
leave I
know too

that the
world is
something
less.

You have
always been
to me
a beat
of a
moment,

the pause
of my heart.

the break of
first light
of dawn's
quiet offering.

and it
is just
with a hello
that you
weave your
magic.

and words
are simply
out done.

by your
angel eyes
by your
quiet touch

this morning.

Again you
have painted
my morning
with the beauty
of your eyes,

and am
rich beyond
life's words.

My thoughts
fall to you,
like leaves
from a
old stick
tree in
the wind.

my heart
buried
beneath your
feet ,

to willingly
lie and
whisper to
these hills.

and my
voice can
only be
heard by
you.

and in
the wonder
of this universe,

it is
just so.

Tonight,

Let me
lie down
upon your
tender belly
and look
up and sky
and connect
the stars
in the shapes
of animal *******
cookies,

then taste
them one
by one
upon your
lips,

in one of
our finest
deserts
of life.

let me chase
fire flies
across this
night,

without anyone
futures to
decide.

opening
our eyes
to

and bend of
all our love
and truth
in this
moment.

let me
pray like
crazy that
I might
never have
to close
my eyes,

and just
rejoice in
this moment
of seeing
you.

let me
simply lie
naked and
melt under
your canopy
smile

tonight.

The everything
of you
is intoxicating,

like rain falling
cold upon
you face
on a holy
Sunday
morning.

the song
of the world
when it
is around
you,

is unlike
anything that
I have heard
before.

a survivor
of a different
time,

a place where
people didn't
run and hide
from their
emotions.

and now
my heart
stands naked
before you.,

and in
this moment
bring me
your redemption
when you
come deep
and full,

under this
stable of
stars tonight.

I will
find you.

and never
forget this
moment again.

I cannot
pretend.

Since the
moment of
my existence,

I have come
danced a
playful child
to this moment
of you.

been molded
to this vision
of us,

and I
hope somewhere
inside your
heart you
will always
keep a
a record
of me.

I never knew
what the seasons
of my life
were without
you.

these walls
and doors
of our silence
to the night
no longer
define us,

and what
breaches
forever is
the laughter
of your
smile,
and your
autumn hair
across my
face in
this moment.

and time falls
away from
me,

and the wind
carries me

a seed to
this wind
to be
buried deep,

inside your
sighs

tonight.
