As my heart to you
Tears can be like a caress, gentle and nurturing
Gazes can be as the earth turning,
Rotating between seasons - as light fading into dark
Anger can be like a spider web
Doubt as ice cream on sensitive teeth
Confusion is a cold front meeting a warm front, from it will come clarity
after The Storm
Trusting is a wisdom, and knowing of the cyclic nature and a Remembering
of the Present
A kiss, as swimming in pure warm glacier melt
Jealousy, as a newt, fragile and poetic
Heart, as dance and song, beating to the Current
