he came as the earth
with a nurturing soul
the substance of eden
to nourish my need

i was flying past jupiter
just finding my pieces
yet he held out his hand
to beckon me land

his words are kind
in simplistic form
shining his light
inviting me warm

landing as hummingbird
i'm quick to dart
yet something about him
i yield this moment

i'm a river of life
that flows through his veins
urging me now
to stay and remain

he opens his heart
and lets me in
he untangles the ivy
grown over my own

with delicate touch
and enduring patience
the man of the earth
has uncovered my love
