Beloved,
You are my oak.
In the strong timber of your arms
I gain strength
Find new dimension.
In the sturdiness of your being
I live.
With you as mooring
I am become a soul soaring,
Skimming mountains I could not climb,
Worshipping wild flowers I could not claim.
The touch of your hand,
Your lips,
Sweet berries of love
Splashing color on the brown earth of our lives.
Beloved,
In you
I am released,
A high kite, winging free,
Its invisible string
Anchored firmly in your heart.
