Bare buds dance beneath the cold of snowflake touch
Like lace to graze all farthest points drawn north
But blue it is, covers from above, one promise on another
That is heard with all rendering of soul and might

Resplendent turns the song of sorrow into joy
Treasure gathered and set free upon the bloom
As yesterday’s rose must pale and fall faint in memory
Yet the source, as love continues in its own insight

To call the sun from opal depths to golden hallowed steps
Guided down upon the wanting, showering illumined warmth
Drizzled down in lingerie of muslin and wool
Softly dressing satin over vibrant timid night

Then I have purged away that doctrine of disbelief
Just as I was born, standing there among the thorn
Questioning the low cut frill and sheer placket of a season
When right before me custom made the glee of light

Much agreed.  This was beautiful!  And I can't even pick out a part to quote.  It was all equally touching.
