And in

There I

Discovered wondrous

Things fireflies

Jun bugs

Caterpillars and

Deer fae

And gnomes

Long lost

Spirits and

Tribes and

Of course

My self

And while

I sat

Listening

there I

Knew why

I’d come

Back to

Be with

You you

My love

All the

Others are

Just fodder

Distractions and

Static you

May sing

Off-key and

Don’t understand

Everything I

Say but

In your

Own little

Way you

Make my

Life complete

And I’m

So very

Happy and

While it’s

Not and

Neither you

Nor I

Are perfect

It’s your

Life in

Which I

Can share

Friends came

Together to

Give you

A surprise

You were

Tickled and

Those brown

Eyes twinkled

Hugs followed

Giggles and

We talked

And we

Laughed and

Bunnies jumped

And fireflies

Floated the

Rain bathed

Everything anew

And we

Danced our

Little dance

Just you

And I

Are we

Not slate

Or shale

Fragile and

Easily chipped

Broken when

Dropped and

Damaged beyond

Repair are

We not

Better left

In place

Than being

Discovered I

Think not

Upon discovery

We become

And in

Becoming we

Learn our

Nature blame

Not your

Handlers for

It is

They that

Found you

And caused

You to

Be who

You are
