I Wonder

I Wonder

If I could be a flower
And you could pick the hue
I wonder if you would want me to
Be the deepest shade of blue.

If I could be your humming bird
And you my  song could  choose
I wonder would you pick a song
That crooned the deepest blues.

If I could have a  perching place upon two shoulders broad
I wonder how far would you want me to fly
Across miles of deep blue roads.

In your heart I find my resting place
A quiet peaceful abiding space
A few simple moments of love and grace
With you my heart in secret stays.

In the windows of  love's lonesome room
My spirit threaded upon the loom
Sit I like spinner weaving dreams
So my love won't escape the seams

And none but you and I shall know
How your caring made me grow
Care is a beast of burden that rides me slow
down down down the safety line
Into waters of deepest blue..
I go.

I cannot calculate degree
Or quantify my love for thee
Me thinks such calculations
Only calculates my grave for me.

I'm a song unsung a smile undone
I am used  to wordless lines
I will never have set designs
My tapestry every shade of wine

everyday I miss you a bit
Till missing becomes dead habit
The sun will rise above the trees
As sure as you'll wing away from me.
