From hair and eyes like oak and pine
Words poured from cherry lips
Sweeter and fuller
Than honey, maple or wine.
Verse sustaining and sustained
Founding and finding
Secure foundations for hope
Entangled like roots and rain
Rising from her lungs whole
Devoting air to the single phrases
I devour in form like rivers
Sending chills throughout my soul.
Yet, even fixed I cannot comprehend
The priceless nature
Within this goddess
I call friend.
