You seek it out
Calling to you
Like a whisper only you can hear
Alone you approach
Casting your worry aside
Letting go
Seeking
Wondering
Becoming
Finally, joyous after all
Once the colors merge
Perhaps in a chorus of birdsong
This is your time
Your sanctuary
Your space
A slight tinge of envy
Delicately touches my soul
Then I see
From this time
In this space
You create
You see anew
Evolving
Who you are
Eyes open
I see all of you
Admire
Cherish
Pure love
All these words
Not enough
But thankful
I truly am
For you
All of you
Our Souls intertwined
Connected
Joy
Pain
Passion
So much more
Waiting just ahead
Slow it down a bit
Savor our time
Look
Tomorrow promises
Yet another….
Sunrise
I love you.
