to you

they were words

floating in the air  
encircling your lips  
meant to impress or  
to entice the ear

to me

it was water

falling into my body  
settling into my earth  
pooling at the base of my soul  
threatening to provide a safe place  
for the next  
seed  
that dared to drop down  
and take root
