Written quit a while ago

Dare I muse with eyes so brightly wrapped within your heart?
Feet not on the ground, wearing the scent of Eros, soaring within Mozart
Immersed forms waking among the scented promise in your womb
Inner friendly waterways become compatible with resounding molecules
Outer space in human pursuit stretches far beyond any limit
I have astounding faith to love past any premeditated image

Like clinging persuasive barnacles, we are…
Eating the flesh of life, innocent, sweet…divine
We are fireflies offering light to potential, scattering far & wide
Not wondering the effects, but comprehending mystical passions
Where there is harmony intense, woven fine by the mysterious shaman

God!

You are liquid morning’s muse-filled with pearls of jasmine
Like Dante’s volcanic stimuli, of paradise in his sonnets
As time flows through us, rotating and flourishing portrayals
Ancient codes, labyrinthine sages filling our cups with golden ladles
Is it any wonder we feel a snugness. rich of promise?

Oceans encompass our delicate curves polishing the face of blissful silence
Where we capture ordinary moments distilling their details attuned
With a contagious sense of awe, drawing remarkable on the face of a sparkling diamond
Embracing every sense of nature, in its unpredictable diverse flash
Reminds us of the one flawless, invisible & singular strength

That if not for the mouth of the wide superlative oceans
Or the sensuous eyes of a pond, wearing wet bull frogs and their songs
Ten thousand white dolphins, memorizing every coral field in the sea
Our kindled hope, endures all reason’s of love, unbridled and free
What an enterprise, in even the tears, for, every precious moment of life
Where and when….

Your loving heart is near; I know it and feel it!
Love, I suppose, lives and reigns in thoughts of the heart,
Gradually moving that mere translation, into creative expressive detail
Extending perspective beyond any reflection of devotion
Brief moments point to the wind, where knowledge & experience,
Carries an extraordinary source of freedom
Proof You Live

How Great Thou Art!
