Mi Amor

Mi amor, as you pause beside the lilacs

I watch you take them in

You start the morning like a prayer

That´s the way your days begin

And if I could be a petal

Which you touch before you go

Then with this branch I´ll scratch the dirt

And that´s the seed I´ll sow

Mi amor, as you dive beneath the water

I watch it cascade down your chest

You rise upon the wave

As if it´s molded to your breast

If I could be a stream that feeds this lake

Which might rise to kiss your face

Then I will wind my way between these rocks

So I might settle in this place

Mi amor, as you glide beside the clouds

I feel the wind beneath your wings

With such ease you take this gift

That your friend, la luna brings

And I hope that in my lungs

There might be the strength one day

That you might gather other sparrows

And chase the crows away
