The Spring of Your Mind

The spring of your mind
nourished the soil of my life.
The stream of your love
fed the grove of my heart.
The river of your kindness
bathed my open country.
The ocean of your beauty
engulfed my waiting world.
In an endless round of giving,
again and again, you return;
and everywhere I always meet
the presence of
you.
