you are

You are
ever my peace and my passion,
my quiet harmony and my hope.

You are
the breath that warms my flesh,
the kiss that contours my lips.

You are
the home that cradles my soul,
the voice that sings my spirit.

You are
the rain that nurtures my roots,
the moon that lights my desires.

You are
my now, my how and my when,
my tomorrow, my why, my then.

You are
the first thought that awakens me
and the dream I embrace in sleep.

I love you
with every beat of my joyful heart
and with every note of my being.

Salt Lake City 21 July 2022
