like the trees

you're gorgeous like those trees that are in full bloom right now,

the ones that fill the street with their intoxicating scent.

there is an entire field, for as far as i can see, filled with wildflowers,

and though in their colorful landscape i'm encapsulated, surrounded,

i'm certain which one is you.

as we pull the velvet covers over our heads, the sky softly puts us to sleep,

dotted amongst the infinite stars, your twinkle is so unique.

was it the radiance of your sunshine smile that caught my first attention?

or the elegant grace with which your floated across time?

perhaps it wasn't until the first chance to dissolve into the explosion in your eyes.

and just like anything, the ages of history have deposited you here,

in the high-mountain meadow overflowing with countless like you.

history deposited you here, in this vast ocean of life,

where among so many we all fade away into the background of insignificancy, 

though peering into this abyss… trees, fish, microscopic, kaleidoscopic, telescopic.
