How Could I Deserve You - Sonnet Poem by Patti Masterman

How could I deserve you in any way,
Who makes my heart twirl like a strong windmill;
Grinding, grinding off edges of the day,
Making small gemstone fragments of my will.

All my hours become treasured, and a gift,
Imagining I tread sunny fields alone;
With every thought of you to give a lift,
And know with you, my heart is always home.

Why me; why now, am I the deserving one,
Should live my life as queen, albeit uncrowned?
I chase your shadow toward the setting sun-
And pray in future sunsets, I might drown.

A sun and moon, with you inside my arms:
The world’s reborn, there's none can come to harm.
