nature,
my lover
I hear you calling
I know you by a silence

heaven's ripples are beyond my ears
and I long to be there

Gentle,
soothing,
pleasing.

I know you
as nature
by nature

the world is full of echoes
bouncing off one another
into each other
it is chaos
but there is order
intermittent with bursts,
bubbles,
rustles,
drops,
flops,
shakes,
quakes,
and
every other thing that permeates
some are sweet
some are long and glorious
but your beacon sings out through it all
and above all that I feel
that I hear
that I know
there is no rhythm such as yours

I crave few things
for many reasons
all reasons that I
and all that I encompass
know the pain of living without.

things are noticeably missing
at times because they are welcome
any time
they feel the need to bless me

the notes that I feel when I look into your eyes
are matched only by the tempo of your skin

I wish to run my fingers over every string
that ties to you

I have never heard a song as beautiful as you
And as long as reality plays your record
I'll be a fan.

Kudos to 1000 poems.

Congrats on achieving such a milestone, Alto. I remember when you first started doing these!
