Ineffable

The texture of his lips on mine;

The understanding that I am both

               insignificant and grandiose

               on a perfectly crisp, endless-sky day;

The simplicity and beauty and rightness of

               skin on skin;

The emptiness of loss;

The swell in my chest when he said

               I love you

               For the first time;

The innocence in a toddler's eyes;

The peace and pleasure of

              Being alone

              With nature.

Perfectly indescribable,

Impossible to capture.
