Notes About The Poem

An Arc To Heaven

An Arc to Heaven

Peace flows over my body
     In calming, cooling waves.
Your words carry me to shore
     Exciting, igniting my spirit
With sweet revelations of love.
     My lonely heart blossoms 
Slowly as dew drops awaken
     With tender rhetoric shared.
They blaze, amaze my mind
     With a peerless brilliance 
As your verses elate my being
     They delight, requite my most
Secret desires in poetic kinship
     Which inspires, retires my soul
To soar high amidst the heavens.
