Raindrops in the sand

Are like my worries–

They dissolve whenever

You hold me in your arms.

Branches thrashing in a storm

Are my insecurities

The crack and fall away

The instant you whisper hello.

A lonely tree at roadside

Is like my confidence–

It continues to grow

Despite the turning world.

A humid summer’s day

Is exactly what I am–

Certain and constant

With you in my life.
