Between

Distilled space, pure and unbound

The heart within beats true

I have heard your voice beneath the leaves

Hidden in the furl of the fronds

I plant your seeds and Till your ground

The shoots curling greenward toward the sky

My friendship with you is new

I and We seeking leverage against the Dark

Huddled together in the night light

I saw you then and you saw me now

I am unafraid to be with you
