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 I see the 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
asleep 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
