Notes About The Poem
I found pictures of Envelope Quintets on the internet..They are when someone writes them on an envelope or sends them to someone in a letter..

Closer Than a Kiss

The zephyr that I couldn't dismiss
And pouring rain only sounds heard
Then the Spirit gave a good word
Go to sleep_rest, Spirit did undergird
God's presence, closer than a kiss
