Sausalito

You are my call of the wild
A welcome embrace
That bears only love.

You give without asking,
You caress without demanding,
You soothe without thinking.

If my dreams could speak,
It would sing your tunes.
If my soul had a place,
It would reside in you.

You and I,
We pulsate alike.
Rustic, primal,
Perennially revived.

Never deterred
Nor dominated.

Not because
We do not scar,
But because
Our scars
Become us.
