One can only give away the gold of love
I have completely
Searched the reaches
Of my heart,
To find a gift for you.
And each time teaches
Me anew
That there are always parts
Of me to give I did not know I had.
But.
You may not have my soul.
I would never ask
For you to give me yours.
One can only give away
The gold of love
Of space to heal and grow
When it is mined below
The lands one calls his own.
If you will give me space
To mine the depths
Of my heart’s source
I will show you ore
That takes
Your breath away.
If you will take the space I give
To mine the depths
Of your heart’s course
It will show you ore
That makes
Your life each day
Another mother lode.
