There You Are
Cushioned in soft lushness, this grass
I gaze at you, there, each facet
With my eyes I can trace every line, each tress of hair
Each mark a memory, laughter, motherhood
Your eyes so blue, deep. coy yet of promise
Your lips carrying that smile that lit my love
Soft down that covers your brow
Oh I would caress in an instant, kiss in a second
Hold in a moment, and not ever let go
I try so hard not to hate the wind
As it carries you away, a little at a time
Leaving wisps only
Leaving only blue sky
