The Garden

Our love grows day by day
Thrusting through the soft wet earth
Into the hot light of discovery.
The roots push deep,
Deeper still to nourish themselves
In the wellspring of our passion.
The stem stands straight and tall,
Arching into the bright
Sunshine of love that surrounds us.
The flower opens wide its petals;
It's fertile soul
Beckoning to be filled with love.
At the center of our love,
The seed ripens and matures;
A promise that our love grows on forever
