I know from your eyes who you are…

I know from your eyes who you are…
I listen to the wilderness within you…
You gave me one hug, I gave you two…
This is a beautiful friendship.

Please tell me what you love…
Painted or powdered…
Tell me more than cliched words…
Because one can never know what another holds dear.

The wilderness is alive in you…
I look up and down your silver shores…
I linger on your warm hillsides…
Smiling because I am so blessed to be your friend.

Tell me what you do the best…
I’m best at snuggles and love…
God has given you a special gift…
When you use it, you give a gift back to God.

Hey I got an idea!
Today let’s not act like we are made of cardboard…
Or some fragile piece of ash…
And stop our pages from fluttering.

Instead let’s be like a frisky chipmunk…
Prance as light as a deer…
Give ourselves to whatever the moment brings…
And together, drink some tea from the old pot.

I love you,

Annie
