i have found for you
among my things
a heart most warm
to welcome you
from your intent and pondering
let us secure
from pirate treasure
midnight candles and
a speech unfettered
by regret or mere words
to find a trust most dear and clearly lit
that long after we depart
will make the leaves be greener still
in the forest of our heart
i bid you forth with light and love
in your every footfall and above
so that my eyes may please to see
our return to love unceasingly
