Mabeline's Poetry Corner
This is Why I Love You
No single person controls you
I know that you will show up each day
And when I decide to rise I can see you
Your loyalty is unwavering
You never truly go away
you're hidden by the elements of nature
and once they leave or shift
I get to see you for who you truly are
I could never become jealous that you're
bright enough to warm all that pass by
There's beauty in a touch that you can feel from something that has no arms, hands or fingers…
Your radiance lingers….
Deep into my subconscious mind…
Giving me opportunities to
experience you in my dreams…
which I'm blessed to also
have during the day…
And when I want to drift away
from my daily commitments…
I have the authority to look up to the sky…
And in the midst of my gaze
I get to SEE YOUR RAYS…
Shining down on me…
This is why I love you!
