I Believe in You

(A poem for Lee)

I believe in you.

You.
like I believe
The Sun rises each morning and
The moon shades from light to dark then
To light again.

I believe in you
like I believe in
The laws of Nature.
I am as sure of you as
Water runs downhill,
Cold contracts,
Gasses expand,
An object in motion stays in motion...

I am as sure of you as I am
Spring will come again and again.

I believe in you like light.
