Love Poem: Arboretum1

Arboretum1

A New Sun
Shining through leaves...
a golden canopy of Light...

and the calling-after voice
of an insistent mother, rises, instructs,
and dies away

and all of it:  the breeze, the whispers, the passing occasional car, the children's laughter

floods into a montage of sound
that fills... everything!

and I am one man, and everywhere

and I am made, healed, shown
how it was supposed to be...

and... are you here, my Love?

 in the trees
  (will I see you peeking out from behind one)
 in the winds
  (your voice as soft as the stars' voices)
 in the leaves
  (a thousand reflections of a thousand perfect fragments of your face)

I think you must be...
for I am at home among the colors,
and there are children here
