You were ...

You were always the calm
Mid-oceanic flow of turbulence 
The silence of known assurance
The labyrinth of all
That is consoling
The stillness that takes over
Before every storm
The world heavy hope
Grasped within a child's fist
All the unmeasured words
That never failed to drip
From lips sealed for too long
The rays that ever managed
To bounce off my skin
for every time i smiled up
To your radiance
Every cell and crease 
that will and did cross
The blinking lifetime i live
You were always the mystery
That held body and soul tight 
So cemented
So independent
So concealed.
