WHAT YOU ARE LIKE

Do you know what you are like?
You are like the sunset,
the drops of a waterfall,
the drooping leaves of the rainforest,
and the mountains full of clouds,
You are like the evergreens,
the deciduous, and the angios,
You are like the grassy fields
on hilltops midst the boroughs
You are like the spiral arms
of a purple galaxy,
its surrounding stars
the velvet backdrop
and the stars that lie between.
You are like the crumbled sand
on an old forgotten beach
or anhydrous rocks in the furthest desert
that not a hand has reached
You are like the mossy stones
that lay guarding by the river
the fungi on the cottonwoods, <--northern oaks?
the stairs leading to Valhalla.
You are like the forest's floor
with its leaves and musky air,
and yet with all that that is out there,
I'd rather have you- here.
