Thinking of You

"a leaf falling in the air
from the time it leaves 
the branch of the tree
to the time it touches
the ground I will 
have thought of you 
my love, a thousand times 
my hand resting against jagged rock
our life nettled above velvet clouds
shadow of softness your mind 
touching earth’s diverse reflection
whispered words of love
your image inherited in my soul
unity of our two hearts beating
hoping you can feel the un
alloyed love I possess for you
from the time it leaves 
the branch of the tree
to the time it touches
the ground I will 
have thought of you 
my love, a thousand times 
a leaf falling in the air"

-Joseph Mayo Wristen
