Analysis of As I
As I gaze
Out the window at the green branch of Spring,
The white of it's blossoms.
As I feel
The warm rays of melt into my skin
Releasing my inner glow
As I smell
The rich beauty and deep red of the rose
And press the soft petals to my lips
Know it is you
I have taken root in your heart
Long, deep, like the Cypress
I have taken flight
Into your life
Like wind through Tibetan prayer flags
Know that every morsel
That passes my lips
Feeds me
Feeds us
Feeds our love
Feeds our love embraces
Every Minute
Every Hour
Every day
