I am... Waters that rage before the flood bathes. The shore that casts the waves into the seas. The light that shimmers upon the lake’s edge. the tear that glistens an eye. You are... The fountain that sprinkles a symphony. The coo of a mourning dove. The whisper that calls me. The moon that bathes my soul. We are... Flowers blooming upon the vine. Wine’s sparkle behind a crystal shell. A flake of snow, landing lightly upon a lid. A water’s drip before the fall spills. I am... The love that bubbles endlessly. The rush of cheeks in a roses blush. The cavern’s silence beneath a starry sky. An owls cry before the dawn. And as the day swallows the stars, as comets trace the pillow of darkness...As mountains move toward the seas...I am here.... Forever in love... With you... |

A very, special poem. Would make for an excellent reading at a wedding, as it is an outstanding declaration of love. |
