Love Within
Before dawn’s hush you stood beside me,
I gleaned your shape from night’s dim ashes.
In dew-draped gardens I traced your scent,
believing you awaited just ahead.
But love is earth beneath my feet,
your breath entwined in mine unseen.
We need no meeting on distant roads —
you are I, and I you, always.
Your words echo in my silent ears,
in every breath, in every unspoken song.
Your image lies in each shadow I cast,
and when sunlight falls, your touch I feel.
That day of meeting bloomed within,
a door opened inside before any path.
Bells of your laughter ring on my tower,
for you were first, and now I am you.
