My Thoughts of Thee

How is it that my thoughts upon thee dwell, Purely, enchanting, tempestuous, engulfing river A river, swift and deep, sweeping through my soul. How is it that my thoughts upon thee dwell, Distinguished hair, boyish smile, life’s scars Etched forever through form and spirit. How is it that my thoughts upon thee dwell, Soft eyes that weep without tears, alight with love Mirrored reflections of the beautiful being within. How is it that my thoughts upon thee dwell, Of timeless hours under starry skies, on mountain tops By crackling fires, on rolling waves, on all life’s paths. How is it that my thoughts upon thee dwell, Profound, happy, inseparable, lifetime love, inner peace spreading Spreading through souls, always and forever entwined,… Is how my thoughts upon thee dwell!
