Kingfishers

I’ve found my home in you,
where light shivers
tiny rivulets and streams
through the grassy leas
to paradise, before the thorns
and serpents and the fruit
of the tree of knowledge fiasco.

I find my centre in you –
a deep pool where kingfishers dive.
Day by day, without my noticing,
roots have developed and grown,
and now suddenly here it is –
this sunshine flower
blooming in my heart.
