like daisies to the sun
magnet to the moon
sweet tang of peppermint
face raised with shining eyes
like dancing cabbage whites
plums clinging to the branch
roots warm in cool brown earth
hands reach and nestle close
like vines around the oak
clematis shoots in spring
sweetpeas through the fence
four arms in twined embrace
like rosehip to potent tea
hatchling to chickadee
from green to aubergine
my love is sprouting wings
