The Sum of All

There is in you an understanding  
I alone have discovered  
And this not withstanding  
What distances have colored  

For I am not close to you  
I mean, as close as I long to be  
That your breathing be the breath I drew  
Tinged with memories of ethreal sea  
 
For you are neither sun nor stars  
But faint moonlight luminosity  
Casting frailest shadow of this love ours  
That it is real and not mere curiosity  
 
Clouds pass, shadowing the earth  
Fresh plowed and longing for the rain  
The wind dancing between in mirth  
And all, like love, touched in its train  
 
I need not heaven's showers  
Just a silvered drop of you  
A sea, a world, the sum of all, its power  
That the seed of love in my heart grew  
 
There are flowers within your eyes  
The world has never seen  
Deep shadowed in your heart of hearts they rise  
More beautiful than all colors have ever been  
 
I would touch them as the breeze  
Caressing every one, your sun  
Lost, enchanted, among the fragrant, these  
The bloom of love and we as one
