I am the whisper on
your lips.
I am the silence
accepting communion.
I am a weed in
the rose garden.
I am a husk in
the green field.
I am driftwood
washed to shore.
I am a grain
of sand.
I am a whitecap
in the breaking waves
of the ocean.
I am the morning dew
on the maple leaf.
I am nothing
without you.
Oh this is utterly romantic. Must read it to my husband. Nice Ayala.
