Joyful Ruins

I did not know

my love for you could grow

anymore than it already has

Like a cup

full

now overflowing

and yet

it does not spill out

because you hold it too

So rather than a cup overflowing

our love together

started as a cup

and has grown into a creek

And as water and love

often do

their force and power

over time

changes things

Water changes land

carving canyons and lakes

Love changes hearts

growing care

and making room

for two people to

share their lives
