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
