Guardian of my Solitude

My beginning, my sweet and my grasp,

I stand today before you simple and humble.

Rich as the earth beneath my feet

And unfurl as the sky at last.

As you embrace my thoughts, my sweet, 

I entrust them with you,

To carry them with the outmost consideration,

As they embrace you endlessly.

I will not ask (nor want) of you to shelter me,

Thus this is not your task.

I am my own spirit, free and untrammeled.

And with your own I choose to be close,

Deep within oceans blue,

And far across mysterious glades.

We will not compromise our distinctiveness,

As we'll remain untainted in our togetherness.

And if you choose to be close or far, my sweet,

You shall remain..

Guardian of my Solitude.
