breeze

The breeze carried your scent across

the sea

Like the wind had one mission

and that mission was me From

the land of the rising sun,

it came without a sound Touched

the garden of the gods before

it reached this ground The earth

held your essence in its soil

and its rain Sent it through

the rivers running through my veins

Mosquito, she traded DNA and laid

her egg on my sill Like

nature wrote a love letter and

the postman was a drill The

tide memorized your touch before it

kissed my soul Like the ocean

kept your secret then delivered to

my shore Cedar smoke rose east

and found my lungs at dawn

Like the fire knew my address

and predicted my morning yawn The

spider spun her web with the

patience that you gave Every thread

a memory of you I deeply

crave The hummingbird stayed longer than

she ever had to stay Like

she knew the hug I craved

your warmth before she flew away

The soil cracked open and what

bloomed was green and deep Like

the earth had been holding you

in trust while you were sleep

Every root,

every season,

every current,

every spore Just the universe bringing

you back to my heart's door

The seeds

you planted all took root in

my soul
