You are not the wind–
tugging at my clothes,
teasing my hair, always
leaving town in a rush.
You are not the soil–
cold beneath my feet,
hard against the winter,
impatient for the spring.
You are not the tide–
dragging sand dunes
from the shore, only to
push them back again.
You are the night sky–
your deep, dark eyes
filled with stars, holding
a moon in your arms.
