Ssh! Can you hear whispering? Focus on it, keep on listening Soft breeze of angels' breath Describe a love that defies death Colors do their voices speak Of a man I am to seek Hues of red and orange and gold In this placid place so old Follow their sweet voices journey Through this forest a pyre burning O lead me to an unraped land Guide me with your gentle hand Take me to the place where he awaits Make haste and open wide the gates Calling to me he keeps his vigil I'm drawn to him for it is his will Smoke burned eyes, I hear crackling embers Evil doth this place remember Heavy air so thick, so dense And I the first to be here since Lo! A clearing in the sky reveals Sunlight bathes a far off hill Beauty far too great to speak of God has breathed upon this place love Soaring birds and indigo pools Hidden from corruption of fools Angels fly from me upon the threshold "You'll find him where you've been told" Repose such as the face of a child Scanning the panorama, my eyes dance wild Upon a river bank I fix my gaze He's been waiting there many days Run to him! faster than my feet will carry me He spies me coming and rises to see Placing a hand above his brow He bolts toward me, both of us now Our speed yields a pounding embrace, O rapture! My deepest breath did he capture Angels breath breezes through lush grass rolls Amid them we spin, a union of souls |

Thank you for your votes and replies. This poem was written for Wayoutwalt when we were brand new after meeting on the internet; hadn't seen him face to face yet. A wedding, three babies, and a new house later, he's still just as wayout there! |
