The eaves of my carport

Reach down and protect

My lilac bush from the stormy gusts.

Your words guard my brain from doubts,

And will your arms protect me from

The lonely onset of the night? 

I feel a chill in the twinkling stars,

A cold stare from the moon,

But I can smile in the warmth

Of the shelter I feel here in your love.

Stay. Don't let the ants and honey bees

Be the only thing my lilac petals 

Ever call to.
