a song

you have always been a song to me
trickling into cracks
filling me
with light

my melody

I am melody

with lows softly rising

to new heights

to life that swells
draw near to hear
my cadence

this beating heart

these clapping hands

my open declarations

of love for you

there is more

today I realized

the frailty

of my body

feelings in flux

hidden sickness hissing through

veins

the

rules to follow

just won’t heal this infirmity

but you broke into me

with words

saying

I love your heart

more than air

more than any tree

I love you more than the sky

I am here

calling out the restless depths in you

that long for more

I am here 

rest.

I am here

with scars that healed

I am here, arms wide

waiting

for you 

for you to return home
