Seized

The spray of your light
bathes in open petals
saturates in wonder
enters every rhyme

The mirth of your step
quickens the quiet pulse
invites a wash of color
paints fullness in bloom

The taste of your summer
moves like falling water
dresses the forest plenty
cradles the turning moon

Grace offers you forever:
seize the drink.

Savored

night bends to your call,
sending desire to root,

unleashing
a forever of longing,

lighting the way of your nectar—
a season of long-held sweetness,
  ripe and everlasting.
