you are not mine alone

perhaps you never were

belonging to the wind

and the earth

to the sky and the trees

even now I see to the buildings to the doors to the lights to the music to the mirrors

to the world outside of me.

but my child

my

child

i must today tell you

there has never been one single thing you could ever do for me

more than the gift that is

to have just

been.
