We Are What We See

We are what we see in each other
and in the dreams we weave
with our lives.

I am the first light of dawn,
the rushing brook of spring,
the new constellation
discovered on a magic summer night.

I am the sea bird
standing freely on the air
with outstretched wings,
the whisper of the wind
to ease the silence
resting on a mountain face.

I am a sigh of contentment
breathed in the middle of the night,
a touch of tenderness
weaving in, and around
a smile and a laugh.

I am the fulfillment
of all that never hoped
to be fulfilled,
the meaning to add
to what was never understood.

I am what I see in you
and the dreams we will
weave with our lives.
