You, Yours

Every word I've ever written

Every hand I've ever held

tear I've dried

pain comforted

sorrow made whole

What tongue loves

and ear

Things held in a hand

knives, umbrellas, pens

paintbrushes, hammer and saw
banner, flag

tilth

All joy, all sun, all crystal

murmur, rustle, hum

bird wing, turquoise bead, sparkle

on water, bud and berry, seed

beetle and butterfly

Storm, wave, thunder

leaf, flower, grass, thorn

High summer, winter's dead

spring sweetness, autumn's flame

Each moment of quiet,

peace, pleasure, giggle,

glee, laughter

Compleat
