You are my

 


If
I ever am a river
I will flow to you
Like gravity you pull me and
The pull is never ending
And my destination true
If
I ever am a tree
I will grow to you
You are the sky that I will reach for
Every limb and leaf will seek more
Of the sunlight that is you
If
I ever am a planet
I will revolve around you
In sweeping grandeur hurtling
Through empty airless silence
Never doubting you my centre

Now only me,
I know this:
What would be this house without you?
Teardrops, dry leaves, vacant space.
