Poetry

This human world is you
That spirit world is you
Every world I live in
Includes you

When I’m walking alone
There is you
When I’m with others
There is you

My home is where you are
And my journeys end with you

I stay in your shadow
When the sun is too strong
I look for your rays
When the light is not enough

When you die, I’ll be leaving with you
When you’re reborn, I’ll be waiting for you

When I enter your arms
And kiss your hand
It’s the outward experience of something
We constantly have

The language you speak
Is the one I’m learning again
Your love is like water
That I’ve thirsted for and found
Pouring from your eyes into
Every part of me
Radiating like warmth from your skin

The dreams I have are of you
The joys I wish for are for you
When I sleep in peace
It’s because you’re peaceful too
