I Have Known Him

I have known him... by ~H~ I have looked unto his face And saw the face of beauty And love and light And all the colors of the rainbow I have kissed his lips And felt upon them The embrace of the sun On a dewy spring morning I have looked into his eyes And in that instant felt all resistance evaporate Like drops of water In the desert sun For to have looked unto his face Is to have known the face of beauty And of love and light And all the many colors of the rainbow -End-

Thanks Ayanda. It's the one that started my writing. We were laying on a bed, with a gorgeous view of Sandton at sunset and the words just came to me. It will always be one of my favorites too :-)
