Moriah Haven

She touched her

in parts of her heart

she had previously reserved

for disappointment.

She touched her skin

with a tenderness

she had only seen

in the delicate evidence of nature.

She found herself

In her eyes

In her hands

In her heart:

A place she has vowed

to call home

until nature reclaims her;

But the essence

of her lips

will exist infinitely

with her soul.
