A Canopy of Light

“Words speak volumes”
even the few, or the one
when chosen wisely – 

let us not confound
quality with quantity – 

like an honest kiss

on a barren cheek

at the right time
trumps a deluge of
well rehearsed slobbering – 

greening trees

blossoming meadows

we share with all 
Nature bold and
brilliant, scented
fondness, 

breathe in and out
exhaling blessed
necessity – 

taking selflessly
from one another
enfolded, raptured
within a canopy 
of Divine Light –

Amidst a poetic genius which enthralled me with its wisdom I read " a deluge of well rehearsed slobbering" and the humor that brought to your poem was undeniably an interlude while you continued your poetic sentiment to the end. Loved this Joe.
