And so it
Began like setting
Tinder to start
Then fanning catching
Logs to blaze
These conversations dancing
Like a ballroom
Competition spinning and
Ducking and moving
Moved from topic
To topic as
Easily as ice-cream
Melts on a
Warm August day
Leaving us to
Leap like leaves
That jump into
October winds and
Land one atop
One another we
Talked creating a
Harmony like the
Cicadas in summer
These were the
Seasons between us
After the rain
The grass twinkles
Like a field
Of diamonds each
Thick blade
Of grass balances
Crystal orbs like
Christmas trees as
You sit beside
Me your cool
Drinks glass creating
The same cascading
Galaxies as the
Early morning mist
I have found
Someone in you
Like a present
That I unwrapped
The surprises keep
Unfolding like fresh
Sheets laid on
The bed crisp
And smooth I
Bring you to
My lips like
My morning espresso
Knowing that with
Every sip my
Mind will bloom
Is it possible
To meet yourself
To find you
In someone else
I talk to
You as easily
As skating across
A Vermont pond
In January I
Watch you like
I watch daffodils
Dance in summer
Breezes listen to
You like a
Priest in confession
Be with me
My love and
Let my fingers
Know you like
My heart does
I am older
And like last
Years bouquet of
Wildflowers I retain
My beauty though
Different my fragrance
Is gone but
The memories of
My gathering still
Blooms and then
One freshly cut
Bud is added
To me making
Me blossom again
Like the first
