To His Unending Warmth

To his unending warmth, with care

We breathe together in our sanctuary
Crossed trees and brambles in knots,
They’re the lock and key to our place
Made of sun, shade, and a morning dew
That lets your curls smooth and sprawl

Lying there, burnt and blushed
Your beard - a patch of daisies
Plucked and placed perfectly
A nose that is carved with care and purpose
And lips that begin their journey
You lean in
With eyes of home and ambered honey

And I do too
Our beards together - a meadow

The trees whir away,
The grass breaks to pieces,
As we fall into our moment together
