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
