Chalice In Light of the Day

~ I drink from the chalice in light of the day, a goblet of crystal on endless display Where amethyst rainbows sing songs in the sand and sunflower fragrances walk hand in hand When happiness touches each mountain I climb of heart beat concertos in three quarter time As clouded sky warriors reach for the prize, then fall to their knees as the sun starts to rise I savor the tea leaves in herbal delight, in hopes that the wrongs now become every right To take in the distance that I’ve come to know, if only a dream where my heart tends to go I follow the pathway of lavender rose, where love is the garden that forever grows My thirst now does find on this journey anew, my chalice in light of the day it is you ~

Ooh, a twist at the end that caught me off-guard, kind of made my heart skip a quick beat. I was caught up in the beauty of this, my friend ~ very uplifting, sublime even, taking the reader ever higher. A fave..

My favorite lines..."if only a dream where my heart tends to go." How vulnerable we are to follow the path our hearts take, and how easily we give in, despite what our minds owe to reason. Once we drink from the chalice offered, we hold it up for more.

Thank you Sandy. Your wonderful comments always bring a huge smile to my face and a happiness to my heart. Funny, the dream I remember from last night was me arguing with someone about the Eagles/cowboys games coming up this Sunday. You can see where my mind is at. :)
