how they remind me of you
the way you loved
with such passionate fury,
your dedicated destruction,
your comforting calm
as the wind in your wings
grew weary and you lay
breathless where new seeds
planted you and you were
rooted there in the
promising dreams
that kept you
for a time
distant the thunder
always stirring, screaming
inside you
