Heart Open

Would you find sun rays

hope abyss,

can you remember fragrance

of those forgiving words

I gave

taken on wind

and undersea,

can you go on loving my sky

when I am far,

and voices linger

in the dark,

when you can't hold my hand,

yet my love comes to see you

every time

stars whisper to the moon

how much I care

and always will

love you?

***

I wear the flowers you gave me,

I braided them in soul strands,

I cared for colors

and our dreams,

I made sunset last me through years,

hearts will not stay apart,

oceans may come between

today,

tomorrow, in your eyes,

lake

and a river crossing.

***

So quiet your heart

when it hugs

soul close,

there is no other place I can feel home,

at peace,

found in a spirit mirror.

***

I look to you

and know that I am loved

beyond this second,

more than time could tell,

in you,

I have my happy ending

that keeps on telling stories

of what love can change,

how heart makes a path

soul wide

into our sunshine

hope to last.

***
