God touched the moon and felt it sigh,
a silent heave, an ageless cry;
a teardrop rolled across the sky
and crystalized before it fell;
a snowflake kissed a seedling shell
imprisoned under winter's spell;
when summer paused on zenith high,
a flower opened prism'd eye;
I touched its bloom - and felt it sigh.

This is so lovely!  I really like the way you brought it full-circle from God's touch/moon's sigh to your touch/bloom's sigh.  And you made it look easy, too, which I'm very sure it wasn't.  Bump to the top for you.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

OH MY..
this is exquisite...
what a stunning gem of a poem
a jewel set in imagery and rhyme ...
this is a sigh on high...
and one of those poems that makes me say ..
I wish I had wrote this
wonderful writing!!

If my slight Muse do please these curious days ...
The pain be mine ...
but thine shall be the praise.
