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.

Very kind of you, SV; great comment to start my day. I keep trying, never entirely satisfied so, hopefully, always a little better with each adjustment. BLessings.
