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! |
