You are the foundation of a strong house
holding the edifice with your love, your words,
your reproof, and the soft caress of your hands
I want to protect you from the winds
of deceit and pain that swirl around us
I see the ocean of your existence before me
a grand expanse of depth and movement
flowing freely where it will
- it cannot be tamed
- it cannot be encapsulated
I want to breathe you deep into my soul
and savor the taste of your essence
As time passes your flower unfolds around me
I pull back the petals,
- the soft feminine strength of violet blooms,
I glimpse the filaments,
- dripping with the nectar of your force
You are the sun, shining on this moment
feeding the life around you with
undeniable presence
I want to hold you in my arms and feel your
light at the center of my existence
I want to lift you up on a pedestal
and let the world see you shine
as always my friend this is excellent
