I question my presence on this earth
of small wonders that have past me by,
where angels may have kissed the land
then slowly they rose to the sky.
I have been of foolish praise
that has tempted me to my shame
leaving it upon the high ocean cliffs
allowing me to live again.
Of fair maiden, with eyes the color jade
who by her own strength, does love me
has come into my heart like air
showing me her inner beauty.
I once thought I new love
only to have the dream explode
yet kind words and true emotions come
when she brushes me with the slightest touch.

The title drew me in, and I found love softly spoken throughout...

and "she" inspires wonderous poetry in you
and I inhale every word ...savour every line
your poetry has been missed by these eyes
take care gentle poet of the wind

There are moments ...
when I Love you
beyond the limits of my human heart ...

...you will always be mine.

What lies beneath, is the only thing that matters.  Perhaps you are so easily able to accept her into your heart, because she sees your inner beauty.

Wow.. this is a beautiful piece. You certianly have a way with words. I really loved this piece. Sometimes, love is the only truth.   Keep up the great work.

Michael:

A commendable piece of work.  I especially enjoyed the fourth and fifth lines.
