amber rain

i love you like this

i mean like the sweet kiss of

cranberry clinging to its bark

like a blue sky 

kissing its once young leaves

now bent in grace

but then it is easy to love you

warm and kind 

like amber rain falling

 upon the wellspring of heaven 

that is seen only by 

those who seek its elusive door

through natures tender
 hand
