How foolish
I am
I have given
My entire heart
Over
To loving
This precious
Fleeting
Breath
That kicks up
Fairy dust
As it rumbles
Around
Deep
In my chest
How did I forget
To protect
This heart
From loss
I am not naive
I know
The long walk
Alone
Through
Moonlit
Fields
Of iris
Drinking up
The glow
How do I
Let go
Poor heart
Sacrificed
In the fight
Between
Love
And loss
How do I comfort you
When these paths
Once alive
With laughter
And light footsteps
Now
Take on the still
Silent
Coat
Of grass
And moss
Though
I try
Over and over
With all of my might
I cannot
Grasp
Hold
Keep
The finite
In these mortal
Hands
But
Maybe
Just maybe
I can bring
A drop
Of the infinite
In
Sweet
Soul
Balm
Love forever
Source
Beyond measure
Comfort
In
The night
My Mother
My God
My heart’s
True
Home
My heart’s
Ultimate
Delight
