A
presence that eases my mind like no one else’s;
My oasis
- and my calm amidst the storm.
You are, at once,
A gulp of
icy water on the hottest summer day,
And a
steaming cup of Earl Grey
On a late
December afternoon.
Herein I lie now where I know you have lain,
And feel
your imprint on the warm grass below –
As if
your body touched mine, entwined
Like
lovers through time and space.
Such tricks hope plays.
