ALL MY TREASURES

All my treasures

So meaningless unless

I share them

With someone I love,

So,

I hold in readiness

My rainbows,

And golden sunsets,

Shy pink naked dawns,

Sleepy birdsong,

Audacious wildflowers,

Roaring waterfalls,

And tiny spillways,

And all the words

Pent up so long inside,

Waiting for her to appear.
