LOVERS

I look into her oceans

I kiss her islands

and hills along the way.

I crest over her mountains,

and glide across her plain.

I settle in her valley,

and spread my rays of light.

Creating new life together;

Her arms stretch for me,

for one more embrace.

I look upon her face,

waters glisten upon her shores.

But not long can I stay,

I must begin the new day.
