Forever

I desire nothing from you

just let me watch you wake with the sun

laugh with the rustle of the wind 

that messes your auburn hair

that, my dear little one,

is enough to take me through

the years. And the memory

of all this combined shall take 

me far through forever---

After you have gone riding on a star.
