You and I
are so very
different
and yet
fit together
like puzzle pieces
each
supporting the other
where needed
so that every touch
each kiss
and every single
word
become a harmony
of magic
Browned tips
hide in the shadows
unnoticed
first whispers
of the season
to come
but when
vibrant shades
shout loud
among green
all with eyes
notice
changing seasons
have finally arrived
Prickly pods
and seedful promise
as husks dry out
and crack open
to let promises
fall into
breezy embrace
and float away
to find
their place
in fertile soil
to sink in the mud
and come spring
flourish and bud
Ever green
the evergreen
and prickly
as can be
don’t come
too close
or you will find
needle tips
that sting
but climb beneath
and slide in
deep
and protected
you shall be
