i make no promises of the future
i can only offer you this moment
embrace it for all it's worth
for there may not be another
i can love you for a lifetime
tonight
so make no assumptions for tuesday
it may belong to another

being a daughter of the water and the air
i am ever moving
ever flowing
ever spinning
loving life and living love
wherever my heart takes me

you'd prefer me to be fire and earth
passionate but stable
radiant but rooted
but i, a wandering hesperide, can make no such claims of structure
for me to be stedfast, is to become stagnant
and your love for me would fade as i did

so take from me this moment
no less beautiful for it's brevity
no less touching for it's transience
know i share it freely with you
to cherish as long as memory lasts
that in this moment
you are loved
