I love you like a river waiting
Patiently for Springtime to blossom
When the mountains and your sugared snow
Will melt in the rolling golden sunshine
Where mossy and glittering
A babbling brightness will trickle
Down roiling cliff-sides and cascades
To fill my belly with butterflied rapids
Till together we will spill over
Blushing banks and rush on
To be safe in the soft spray of seas
Until finally found and brought home
Suspended and sparkling in light soft as honey
Held slow in silken silence and sky
Do you think that our love is like water, perhaps?
Do you think that when it's over, maybe we could do it all again?
Become the pattern of a poem
Pressing on amongst woodland stars and soil?
I'd like to think so
I would like to take your hand here
Step into something so big and sweet
So strong and unending
As entropic as an eternity
Sailed forward by nothing but a sparkle of light
And the fluttering pulse of a promise.
