The Airport in Oregon

the very first time  
I witnessed the dawn,
it was on the rise
from beneath  
the evergreen knit  
of his jacket;
I must have said something  
that reminded him  
of the importance of this moment,
of its bliss for ever having
happened at all;
his smile became the sunrise,
bright and glorious  
with the promise
of new beginnings;
looking back
over his shoulder,
I found his eyes  
searching ~
pine and moss,
earth and sunlight, reflected ~
rooting me to this moment  
and to him
