To My Dearest

Your beauty is like a river -

watch it flowing by gracefully.

It is a wonderful treasure,

worth more than any pot of gold.

You are freer than any bird

above the earth, the heavens, the sea.

Your bliss is far more contagious

than the deadliest pathogens.

You're calmer than a stormless sea,

more loving than e'en God can be,

much truer than the best of friends,

and more honest than simplest truths.

Yet, in your most beautiful form,

no different from your most horrible,

you stand above and in the world,

illusion or not it may be.

My soul would be more than happy

to drink the least of your sweet wines.

It's with this heart i write to you

and wait so long for your reply.



Yours in full,

Maria Elena Garcia

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Should this be called devotional or a love letter?  Inspired by a secular video of a live performance of a song (only time I've heard it).
