you are enough.

(a poem)

See How They Flock To You? (watercolour)

you are enough.

you are enough
just as the sun gives light to the early buds in spring
folding them in perfect sunlight to pull their harvest in

they are not left wanting

you are enough
when I unravel in your arms
and your tenderness pacifies
an ancient longing

you are enough
just as the raindrops kiss the sapling
tiny dancers on their green bellies
exposed and bursting with veins
running like threads across their silent leaves

you are enough
when your whispers chase my face
speaking a tongue of children
hopeful and full of wonder

you are enough
when our bodies are joined
with sacred reconciliation
and you flow into me with a force of knowing

you are enough
just as the stars find their place in the cosmos
and the dark engulfs them
like a memory in the sky

you are enough
just as the branches find their great length in the air
a ballerina poised with unshakeable balance
hoisted fingertips in waiting 
for the froth of flowering blooms that will grow

you are enough
even when doubt is preying on your mind
just as the moon tugs silently at the tide
you are the gravity my heart gathers

I am enough
to be yours and to be mine
I have a love that drowns oceans
a storehouse within
enough for both of us

you are enough
and your roots run deep
and I am convinced
that somewhere
under that all-knowing dirt
in the soil of our fermented lives
yours reached out for mine

I am not left wanting
