THIS IS ENOUGH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and the dawn,
the waking sun,
the earth and all its glory,
the sun shining down on me.

Me and the twilight,
the rising moon,
the sky and all its glory,
the moon shining down on me.

Me and the autumn,
the falling leaves,
the field and all its glory,
the pumpkin and cranberry leaves dancing all around me.

Me and the winter,
an icy serenade,
the frozen earth in all its glory,
the purity of the heaven-given snow enveloping me.

Me and the spring,
a chatterbox of colors and green,
the thawing earth in all its glory,
the sweet promise the raindrops bring falling all around me.

Me and the summer,
a newly radiant sun so free and bright,
the blazing blue sky in all its glory,
the endless, languid days mesmerizing me.

Me and you,
a slow, persistent warmth illuminating hidden fields
our love, this flawed, bruised, and fragile thing
We are enough. Here. Now. Always.
