What lives in a dew drop?
I asked you to look beyond the horizon
You complied. Stars and sparks lit up your eyes
I planted the moon in your heart and watched it grow
Ivy conveys us to the clouds
I wash my face in yesterday’s dew.
Against my warm palm
I felt the beat of your soul
Resound as a drumbeat born in the deep
It shakes the mountains but
It is the ocean that quivers.

Your last stanza is chock full of tactile sensations. My favorite lines; ‘Against my warm palm
I felt the beat of your soul.’
