O cradle

O cure

O hold that endures

·

O keeper of my wishes

and maker of my dreams

O filler of the waters

and current of the streams

·

 O embrace in curve and sphere

I can feel you drawing near

my back against your breast

O limitless, loving rest

∴

lean into me

lean down

press onto me

come ‘round

·

I have called you all these many years

I erode your edge with salted tears

and sculpt anew with kisses

·
