You Are to Me

[Guest guest]

Hello Friends, This poem was written to a lover, the one who got me

back into writing my poetry after letting it go for so long... He was

my inspiration, and I honor him with reposting this poem today.

 

You are to me

You are to me like a rushing river

I cannot jump in for fear of being swept away

I stand at the edge, and watch

Wanting to be quenched in your coolness

Wanting to feel your peace, and be carried

Away, far away to rest along your banks.

 

You are to me a mountain

So high, difficult to climb

For fear of falling, crashing below

But, how I stand at your feet

And gaze at your beauty

At your wonder, and majesty.

 

Oh how to me you are like a great wind

Whispering in my ears

And touching me with your breath

I welcome you with my arms wide

And embrace your warmth.

 

Oh to me you are like the sky

Where I wish to fly amongst

The clouds, and dwell in your greatness

I watch from below, just glimpsing you

Reaching high to touch you.

 

Oh how to me you are like the small bird

that rests on my shoulder

forever within reach, but so easy to lose

I watch you flutter around me

And feel your wings brush against my soul

 

You are to me,

Everything

With Delight In Light and Love
