Blue

Your eyes,
blue water that
invented electricity
and summer storms
playing at midnight.

Your hands,
golden sun that
harvests the fields of wheat.
They touch, and
rivers rush toward the ocean.

Your voice,
making raindrops and wind into
currents that carry messages
hidden in bottles
and hurricane lanterns.

Your heart,
when the winds are blowing,
a hearth of forgiveness,
leaping into deserts,
making us pour.
