In Times Of Innocence

Sails filled, in the exhale of angels
Aloft, the heart is burst, claiming sun spot
And all that matters most is moist with beginning

If but this brevity of time suspended
Blessed in the warmth of unpretentious rays
Heaven makes its presence known

Deepening the color of eyes wide
And so the voice flows in sable truths
Following touch that gives language to heart

When the flesh turns to silk
At the cusp of wonder, brightly glows
Rewarding patience with pleasure trembled to give

Then my arms will exalt as this
Leavening the sea within, feral as first
To taste of wonder unexplored and wild

some grand-wonderful lines and images here!...such as:

“At the cusp of wonder”

and:

”...And all that matters most is moist with beginning”

I particularly love:

”...this brevity of time suspended
Blessed in the warmth of unpretentious rays
Heaven makes its presence known

Deepening the color of eyes wide
And so the voice flows in sable truths
Following touch that gives language to heart...

To taste of wonder unexplored and wild”

Applause!!
