I Digested Your Poem Last Night And

It stimulated me like a sublime tea,
brewed from a transcendent plant.
I felt renewed, suddenly invigorated.  
My weary heart was addressed.
You brought me back to what all men seek
when love equals warm milk upon the babies cheek.

Like whistling an unfamiliar tune,
in a dark cavern, I searched for equilibrium.
Your verse found way into a deep chasm
of my accepting mind.
You found your way inside
and I gratefully obliged.

With honest clarity, you lifted the veil.
Revealing your true, radiant self.
All pretense had melted. 
I could not blind my eyes to your words,
as I saw for the first time,
beauty and truth combine.
