My Brightest Star

In pounding Summer, our love is restless, like daffodil dreams immersed in hot wind. In the vapor of Winter’s reign, our love rises above, reaching the glaring mountain’s lips. If skies cloud red with war, our love exuberates the fight, two hearts gazing at the wisdom of the sun . If thunder pangs our heart in static shocks, our love shawls the sound, refuging the embrace we won. When the buds of Spring bloom, our love emboldens, like the yellow petals on a matchless rose. When Autumn sings its death, our love silvers, the harvest beckoning our works to fall and resolve. From the Hour of Languishing to the Day of Settlement, our love will continue to strengthen. From season to season I love you always! My one, my only, my Brightest Star.

Love that modulates in such ways! We become with nature for seasons and make our place here in this corner of the universe. Very beautiful indeed. A great way to think of ourselves and the pleasure in being.
