growing love

when sky was young
we danced on tender grass
when stars grew dim
we made love til sun brushed by

following shadows far into a new day

if you were here
I know just how you’d taste
if I were there
the trees would sing our song

bending to touch a love story

when we but listen
breezes carry our names
when we look again
all we are is spelled out in the ground

growing love in earth’s embrace
