Nourished

the sky opens and you rain down on me 
lightning flashes across my sky 
your thunder rocks my world 

my petals open, nourished by each droplet 
and you root yourself deep inside of me 

never, have I known such happiness 
forever, how long I want this to last 
not an annual that blooms then dies 
but a perennial constantly self renewing 

I bask in the glory of your love
