Words for the wordless one,
sweet kisses for the lips
that hold back the ocean.
Patience for the restless one,
strong soft hands to draw out
and to flow in.
Gifts for the giving one,
of amber and corduroy
of inspiration and hope.
This between us
will be forever
will outlast these bodies
will transcend these gifts
and out of time we have grown
so close our roots are touching
underground where no one can see
and sage's wisdom sweeps away the secrets.
He comes to my window after midnight,
snapping twig hush silent whisper
slipping out of bed and falling into
blueness where the trees wonít ever tell
the field in blurry sleeptime paints pajamas
with a galaxy of fallen stardrops
let me just hold your hand, touch your cheek...
do you hear something?
and fear so innocent of getting caught
when we've never been wrong before
never will be wrong again
never going back home
never left home
never going to sleep
dreaming awake
walking all night
following sound and
Songs for the silent one,
resonance with the firefly
hiding from the dark.
Dreams for the sleepless one,
waterfalls to smooth the stone
that turns around the sun.
and until...
and beyond...
and when...
and then,
this love is
that kind of forever.
