like trees

for years I had a lover
with green grass eyes
and I watched
as he grew away from me.

then I took a lover
whose eyes were ocean blue
and I watched
as he swam away from me.

then I fell for another
sky blue eyes, cloud colored skin
sunshine in his hair
and I blew up such a storm
that he drifted away from me.

now each night I pray
that I find a love
whose brown eyes
reflect mine own
that we may be rooted together
like trees

like trees we will grow
together
like trees we will look
out upon the sea
like trees we will reach
to the sky
our branches intwined
for eternity.
