Embracing my self

Beloved one
you are made of gold
of stars and the night sky
of sunsets and sunrises
fierce loud storms that rock the world and
send water raging
you are a thick fog, disorienting
and dampening
you are a freezing cold day
the soft silence of a snow-covered field
you are sighs, frozen on lashes
you are music that grabs you
sneaks in the ears and the pelvis
starts the body moving in primal rhythm
you are a symphony
an idly whistled tune
a single pure note
sustained
as long as breath
you are the tallest firs blowing in the wind
swaying and bending
yet staying rooted
a cherry blooming with blossoms and fragrance
a sycamore in the heat of summer, providing shade
a hawthorn, twisted, loaded with spikes
you are a maple in the autumn
drawing attention and admiration from all who see you
beautiful and irresistible in your sleepiness
you are the most enticing stripper on earth
dropping your colored leaves one by one
until you stand naked
under the sky
you are a cup of coffee in the morning
hot and necessary
you are chocolate, melting in the mouth
smooth on the tongue
you are the crisp tart sweetness of the apple
mouthwatering savory spices
the bliss of caramel
the heat of pepper
the comfort of a hot loaf of bread
you are the first taste
of honey
you are water
filling spaces to capacity
you are a hot bath, steam rising
flowing like rivers
lapping like ocean waves
sparkling in the sun
pouring like the rain
changing the face of the earth
like a glacier
you are a candle flame
a glowing ember
a crackling campfire, snapping sparks
a roaring blaze
pure and
purifying
you are the rolling hills
the soaring mountains
the flat plains
you are the vastness of the midwest sky
the beautiful surprise of a river gorge
the irresistible danger of the desert
the rocky coastline
you are a hike in the redwood forest
a hot spring in the winter
and a cool lake in the summer
you are the purr of a kitten
the soft fur of the ears of a beloved old dog
you are a soaring bird of prey
a hidden mountain lion
you are the smallest, sweetest mouse
you are a majestic breaching whale
you are all that is delicate and fragile
you are hard as diamond
unbreakable as graphene
pliable as rubber, and
versatile as paper
you are a smile, a giggle,
an open-throated laugh
you are a whisper in an ear, a sigh in the night
a gasp of pleasure
you are tears of gratitude
you are wails of grief
you are genuflection, gentleness, and generosity
you are a feather-light stroking of fingers
the tight grasp of a strong hand
you are welcoming
you are menacing
you are nurturing
you are frightening
you are open eyes
open mouth
open heart
open hands
open arms
open legs
open
you are the fact of the matter
the answer to the question
the proof in the pudding
the pie in the sky
the nail in the coffin
the gift that keeps on giving
the needle in the haystack
the glory of the morning
the silver lining
you are all that is seen and unseen
all that is felt and experienced
all that is sought after and desired
all that is precious and rare.
and this I vow:
you will never need to hide again
