James Mclain Poet Lyric

I carry your heart within me

i carry your heart within me
(quiet as breath
and louder than silence)

the sky folds itself
into your eyes—
blue, unending, unafraid

i am no longer a single leaf
trembling against the wind,
for you are my tree—

the root in my marrow,
that blossoms in my sleep,
the star i do not name
but endlessly will follow

if all worlds vanished
(i would still remain
because you are here)

i carry your heart within me
