#wsignedtheocean

─── A word I use for the place we call home.

I call you so; the sun you are hot and bright,

a giver of life.

With eyes and skin as brown as the earth we walk upon.

Your hair is black as night,

catching light like the stars.

You are beautiful.

Like a raging wildfire you love fearlessly with a burning passion,

always leaving your mark.

Yet you are as delicate and colourful as flowers of spring,

as soft and gentle as their petals.

You are beautiful.

Like the mountains that tower above;

strong and sturdy.

You move and dance so freely and gracefully as the winds do,

singing a melody wherever you can.

Just as the butterfly that emerges from its cocoon,

you transform and grow

changing as the leaves do with every season.

Everything about you reflects that of natural beauty,

beauty seen all around us when we stop.

Believe me that when I see you;

oh my darling,

You are as beautiful as nature itself.

─── I felt it, more strongly tonight than usual

a pull, an urge or might it be a calling.

The tether that connects our souls

I feel it.

I need to be with you.

Distance may not shake the love we hold

but apart we are longer than my soul desires.

Hear me.

I yearn for home, my love.
