Love Poem: More

More

More than the dust underfoot, 
  which in the beginning
   was sculpted into humanity…
More than rivers running 
   from mountains to quench
   thirst and calm the spirit…
More than reading the classic 
   stories that fill libraries…
I await life’s gift of hearing
   your voice sing to my heart
   of your passing days.
