walk with me into sacred woods
show me the way through deserts
I take you up this woodland path
you find our way to water
I point out vines and branches
you bring us close to flowers
whispering their name, whispering
in my ear, touching me as gently
as softly as I bring my lips
to your forehead, that place we know
places we go, spaces we have
known, flown, grown together
you planted morning-glory seeds
from that incandescent morning
our love is still unfolding, uncurling
reaching toward the light
