Poem Title:
Poem
You walk beside me through the streets Forever remarking on my birds and bees Sensing my presence, though fleeting Hoping to know me but never reaching Out to grasp the hand that holds your hope You see me in the eyes of a friend or lover Discerning their inner beauty, their intelligence The creativity that makes them someone you Want to know better, someone you can confide In with your desires, needs and reflections You welcome me into your home sometimes During the holidays, when everyone is so kind Briefly you take a moment to honor me there Amid the gifts and words of prayer that signal Warmth displayed through hues of faith in the air You meet me in the doorway of some business Where I lie awaiting the chance to accept your gift Some token that tells me I am pitied and comforted By your gesture of kindness in giving me a slip Of hope dressed in green with a dollar symbol on it You learn of me in your churches where I long to venture If only those inside would appreciate my presence with Them, there among the brethren who yearn to show me Their faith, their love, their sense of joy coming from above All the values that I bestow on those who want to know You whisper to me in breathes like the wind’s caress Murmuring through my spirit, harboring second chances For love that lives on the inside, answering prayers for A better day, a better way, the opportunity to dream And believe and be all that I meant for you to become You sing to me in the moments of joy that cause you to Smile with assurance that I am more alive than you might Have believed, so much alive, in fact, that you can truly see The hues of passion and innovation kissing your thoughts With the assurance that I am only one small thought … From the center of your heart!
