Hold Out Your Hands

Hold out your hands and cup the words I am about to write
For they will sprout you silver wings to soar you into night
The stars and moon will recognize a verse inspired by them
And swirl the phrases ‘round the universe and back again

The heavens love to listen to a verse of rhythmic rhyme
Which stars inscroll in nighttime skies for all the rest of time
Cup your hands and let the tender phrases overflow
And then, my love, both you and heaven my deepest love will know

I stand with hands cupped
waiting for love's flow to start.
I tenderly catch them,
the words from your heart!

Oh that was too sweet!
