Invested

This happiness is steep,

~ So steep!
Looking down at that perfect, perfect face...
The heights of it catch me from the inside
And spill my eyes with wonder.

Love, such love I never knew
As we three In rapture up-swept
By the God-spell of creation.

And now this life has bound me
Heart to heart to heart.
The ache of arteries rooting and entwined,
The 'Mine' that belonging dares to claim,
The unfathomable thought
That any of us should ever leave this life now...

This happiness is steep,
~ So steep.
