I came over you
like weather

golden sunshine
warming your cold bones
and lighting up your face

fresh winds
steering up emotions
long thought lost

soft rain
watering the barren fields
making your seedlings grow

thunder and hail
made you retreat
into the safety of your cave
where you simply shake
my love from your fur
like a wet dog.
