I watched the caterpillar 

transform before my eyes,

like the love you give to me

I felt myself transforming 

and soaring free. 

There is beauty everywhere

and now I find it in everything

since your first appeared 

and opened your heart and 

began to share.

                                                       Gazed out back at the hills
                                                       and listened as the migratory
                                                       birds sang their goodbye,
                                                       knowing very well the season
                                                       was documenting our most
                                                        precious time.
                                                     

                                                           Mountain waters cold as can be,
                                                   awakens the flesh like you awakened me.

I followed the road

 and it led me to you,

direct to your heart 

and your love true.

   Morning and evening

both day and night, 

I followed the road 

   to the love of my life.
