Teach my fumbling fingers

Nona laút. Little lady of the sea.

We have been in love for a year now.

You came like grace after a storm, flaunting your curves and tinkling laughter at my tired gray heart.

You spin into songs what I would not know how to speak.

You make visible the prodigious dancer I glimpse at the edge of my Being.

Sprinkle my tears into ears.

You hold my silence in such sweetness

It becomes music.

Like all the beings housed in my heart,

The only words I can offer are

Thank you,

thank you for receiving my tender devotion

And teaching

my fumbling fingers

how to love.

Happy birthday to us.
