Beneath a honey crested sky,
spark rays of hip swayed light ...
amidst a secret garden sigh,
hope's visions soon delight.

Your gentleness rains over me;
thus, quenched, this weary soul ...
love's heeded longing's urgent plea,
with potter's hands; formed whole.

Of kindness showered in reprise,
sent burdens far away...
hence, forging trust when sadness dies,
behest; forever stay.

Such happenstance remains unknown,
how midnight dreams come true!
"Life's mys'tries often ne'er be shown,
yet, here I am with you."

Oh, lovelier than lyrics sung,
sweet gilded sentiments!
Love's ceaseless etchings have begun ...
beloved testaments.

You've shouldered many darkest fears,
stood firmly by my side,
erased away each fallen tear...
a beacon light to guide.

Once silenced voice, can now declare
(the Heaven's so attest),
forevermore our lifetimes' share ...
a oneness unsuppressed.

Alas! Dusk beckons petals close,
bid gardens sweet adieu ...
much needed slumber, I suppose;
but, I'm still loving you.

Each moment's rising woes belong
beneath a fleeting starlit night;
in you, I hear joy's waking song ...
dire darkness withers far from sight.

What magic lies within your soul,
dares harness this unquiet mind?
A patient sculptor melding whole,
unveiling wonders -- redefined.

Like holy water 'pon my skin,
your gently-cleansing touches rain.
All worries fade away ... wherein,
love chimes in echoing sustain.

In you, I've found my hiding place;
its restful haven shelters me.
As morning's sun reveals true grace,
lone sparrow's wings soar high 'n free.

How glorious views soon appear,
enlightens wisdom truly told;
'Tis looking glass beams brightly clear,
soft teary eyes of speckled gold.

Enchanted woodland's changing themes,
all seasons drift through moonlight streams.
Warm, cozy nest waits newborn gift,
sustaining life when Nature deems.
Through moonlit streams all seasons drift ...
moon's guiding light in constant shift.

Bespeckled sprigs of Columbine,
with umber-brown of Prickly Pine.
Li'l critters forage mossy ground;
creations' callings intertwine.
Of Prickly Pine, with umber brown,
huck-berries lumber, bears surround.

High mountains seep cascading sky,
earth's liquid soul meanders by;
a vital life force, greatest role,
clear flowing rivers satisfy.
Meanders by, earth's liquid soul,
through forest greens to grassy knoll.

Soon, songbird's distant silhouette
urge amber leaves to pirouette.
'Pon tapestries of Autumn eves,
all living things fear frostbite's threat.
To pirouette, urge amber leaves ...
grey mouse descends 'neath fallen sheaves.

Each mammal's hidden, now enclasp;
fierce, bitter gusts howl winter's rasp.
Life prospers, bending to adjust
the changing winds, within Earth's grasp.
Howl winter's rasps, fierce, bitter gusts ...
four seasons shift ~ bear nature's trust.
