Greater in Blanket Than the Sum of Its Parts

A mist of clarity covers my skin,
opalescent dewdrops and rainbow prisms
upon the hair of my arms
millions of molecules create rows and canyons
not visible to your eyes.
I feel this layer, the wet sheen
greater in blanket than the sum of its part.
Silver, copper ribbon - I glow,
look into your eyes and I know
you see it all through rain and the fall,
only a moment in our lives,
it won’t be like this all the time.
You have the grace to love me through any insanity
that might smear away our nature,
turns rainbow dew drops to muddy fingerprints
and I give you my torrential rain shower
of tears and laughter, we grow this life together.
