close

You are love

and you are the container of all of my joy

there is a happiness I feel

in being close to you

there is a tenderness we share

when gentle touch is our most valued

connection

there are rivers of peace I feel

rising up like a flood

when I am close to you

there is always a touch of spring in the air

when you draw near to me

beloved companion

you are the answer to a longing I buried

you are the solace that brings my thirsty spirit

light

to me you are

all of these

sunshine

starlight

brightly colored rainbow

and where ever I go

you are with me always

wrapped up

and held oh so very close

and tenderly

deep inside my heart
