Hot Nights in Houston
Were it so that a poet could find it:
the perfect combination of words
that would enlighten the hearts and minds
of all who read them.
But we all speak with different tongues,
and languages change,
and, even if they didn't,
the curious, uniquely crafted crystals
of our identities
interpret the one pure light in different ways.
Perhaps the revelation I perceived
on these hot nights here in Houston
touches no other but me.
In life, I believe I am meant to purify my dreams
and elevate my reality
until the two converge forever.
When desire and truth become one.
When beauty and eternity kiss.
When the heart finds the rhythm
to which it can beat forever.
