Diamonds

As we lay

-close as unassembled puzzle pieces lumped into a box

paper thin breath hangs between our lips

his tears come as perfect diamonds

collecting at lower lash and tumbling down cheeks

these diamonds communicate as our gift for words has failed

a glacier melts and pulls away from it's shore

we are sailing into blue, cold, open, endless possibilities

from the warm sun of where we thought we would be making our nest

strength to strength

a perfect circle of energy

from me to him

from him to me

I see in those most beautiful eyes

and feel with each touch of his steady hands

we can do this

as one
