WILDFLOWERS

Deeply wild vines
Running throughout the fields
Seeking continued growth
Never slowing down

Rooted in earth
Grounded in reality
Made of their own connection
Finding sunlight to bath in
Water to nourish

Drinking in the panorama
Hills and valleys covering it all
Down to the beaches
Seeing the water's edge
Wondering what this day has in store

Running through wildflowers
Hand in hand with the one I love
Eyes discovering so much something so new
Within the strength of you

Laying down in these fields
Finding the beauty so intense
Something so lush and full
Within the embrace of you

Ocean waves gently lapping the shore
Lovely is the sound
Then your voice so soft telling me so
That all you ever need is found within my eyes

Melting into you and the totality of what is to be
There is you
There is me
Then there is us when we join

Holding on loosely
Never suffocating
Only loving and letting the other breathe
To always be wild and free to grow
