between your palms and mine
evolution takes root.
each moment we share becomes
a dream planted in fertile ground
growing free and true
not even wild storms or scorching sun
can destroy the garden we have started.
our joy will bloom like morning glories
climbing toward tomorrow’s light
while yesterday’s worries
fall away like autumn leaves,
leaving only strong branches
like your heart entwined with mine
waiting to grow wings and soar.
