I love you

I love youlike spring flowers love the rainraise their tousled headsto drink water from the Gods.Grass sprouts imperceptiblyday by day and the liliesplay their swinging tunebeneath wind’s breath.I love youlike the sun returns each dayto give us light to seeand I love you just the waya dog will turn his head to hear beloved feet.I love youwhen I ‘m angry I love youwhen I’m sad, here or across infinityyou’re the rhythm in my feetthe waves that stroke the beacheach and all of these.I love youin the thunder , the stinging of ice’d hailI loved you before I knew you,between the curtains of dark sleepyour name echoes to remind methat I love youeach and every night.
