Shepherd nova
You shepherd the stars and you shepherd me.
You corral galaxies with your fingertips and me,
more unruly,
you close in with time and patience and understanding I don't comprehend.
And with tender graces.
Radiant energies throb and storm in deepest space but are a child's butterfly kiss to you.
I've torn your heart and made you weep.
Still you love me
and give all to win my heart.
Wonder of wonders, that I could be your joy.
