Serenity

Serenity
You…you are my serenity…
My soft charitable Angel of laughter and passion…
My other…my opposite…
My delight and reason…my nettle and thorn…
My heartache and sorrow…
My weakness and my strength…
Whether by my side or in my thoughts…
You are with me always…
Comforting…challenging…changing…
Always in my heart…always the same…
Beauty… beyond my understanding…
You understand… the unknowable of Me…
My guide…my companion…my compass…
In you I am lost…
You are my daylight and my dusk…
You are the breathlessness that leaves me choking…
For more of you…
Less of me…
You are my war…You are my peace…
And somewhere in the middle…
My serenity.
