I have

A gift

For you.

It's trust. 

In a neat package

I got from the store.

There is a note too

Attached to the wrapper.

I know

If the moon falls down

Along with the stars

You would pick them up

And hang it back

Upon the sky

The clouds glistening

With tears

Already

Delighted to the heaven

And back

When you made the world look better.

I know

If the sun goes red

With anger

You would soothe her pain

With a smile

Brighter than hers

That usually lights up

My world.

I know

That you are my star

Each edge of you

Steeling for the worse

Just because

I take shade

Under you.

I know

You are a banyan tree

Older than your years

Finding strength from all those roots

You built

Each year

As I made my own tree house

Above you.

I know,

You will never let me fall,

Never waver

Whatever winds try

To chase you down

Even if you let

A leaf or two

Dance slowly

Over to the ground

With a smile

For you are happy

To get some new leaves

You  can breathe life into.

My trust knows

No bounds

But I know

You are this

And more.

I pray that

You are not a cyclone

I will get sucked into

Because then

My trust might see its end

As I swirl

In your deep

Currents,

Along with me.

And that scares me

When I can't let

The gift

Die.
