Your presence pervades me
As all absence of thought is

Filled with the image of you
On a silent canvas of memory

Released to the miracle of your
Face upon the home of my heart

Each imprint you leave holds
The limitless power of you

A femininity inside of me as
The continuum of my own

Masculine energy emerges like
Summer’s palette of deep color

Trying to find the same hue
Of your eyes at the water’s

Edge of everything that I am
You – the lioness of my Life.
