The leaves are lush, green
Dense, luxuriant, celebrating the rain
Butterflies with rainbow wings
Float among yellow, golden flowers
The air is full of sounds
Sounds of life and of living
Everything is incomplete
Without your eyes to share them
Eyes that can stop my being
My very being in its tracks with wonder

How can the most inconsequential
The most desolate and worthless
Be full of meaning when you are there?
How can your smile
Make the very air festive?
How can your voice sound like music?
How can just one look from you keep me warm?
Helpless thoughts and feelings
Vie with each other
As they drift across me
How can I ever be fulfilled
Without you?
