Devotion Poem My Pleas

Devotion Poem.  MY PLEAS

(For Jim) ***
I’ll call out for you
All the enchanted,
The splendors 
    all usually     
    unwitnessed by 
    the average day’s
Noticed sights and 
The sweeter songs   
    blue butterflies   
    hear, and which   
    sound unto
Composers’ ears days   
    before they’re 
    written.
I’ll plead colors of joy 
    encircle you like a 
Future-come more
Than this present 
    noon…
A future drawing of itself
Reborn, with you 
A Phoenix rising
On the dawn of peace.

This is a poem that has no end…
and as I wait, will please find none.
