lotus.

The expansive love that radiates inside of you, is the same love that efficiently shines in me

It’s the way that the glowing moon kisses the turquoise sea

It’s the brightly striped birds that are singing our songs in the majestic trees

Your spirit soars beautifully through the salmon skies

I love the way that your gleaming smile effortlessly lights up my face

It’s your compassionate soul that continuously carries me to comfort

It’s your wonderful heart that lets you write with such honesty

Separated stray cats, playing in the night, rubbing noses on sacred trees

Chasing and running, darting and hiding in a quiet shrub

Intoxicated love, stashed bottles of your essence, that I keep tucked away, safely

I’ll provide you shelter and warmth, whenever you need it, always

Here, take this patterned quilt that Grandmother wove with her delicate hands, next to the stone fireplace

Take my familiar hand, when you are truly ready, I will gently lead you home

I will be patiently waiting by the sandy edge of the shore, of our spectacular sea
