"He" He is the imprint in sycamore tree The palm turned toward fevered brow He is the oak and the olive in me The tracing a kiss will allow He is the faith of a seed being sown The fragrant deep ruts in damp earth He is the warmth of a fire fully grown The awareness in moments of mirth He is the season aflaming with glow The crimson of sunset's surprise He is the taste of a sweet honey dough The taming of indigo eyes He is the rolling of ages to tide The stone cradled smooth in the hand He is the sage in whom angels confide The mineshaft of silvering strand He is the path winding into the wood The answer to what lies beyond He is the kindness and grace and the good The soul to whom soulless respond He is the riverbed bearing the rush The canyon of life's living sea He is the echo of comfort and hush The voice of who man used to be Rainydays (thanks, Tony) |

There are so many great lines in this poem I can't begin to list them. "He is the faith of a seed being sown" That's my favorite..maybe. Gee, it's hard to pick one! This is awesome, rainydays...truly. |

I know that I have said it before but now I am saying it again. "I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE OF YOURS". This is filled with the beauty of a pure and honest love and I know that he is holding you in heaven as you hold him here on earth. Very moving poem from you. |
