~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the shadow of a maple tree,
Green as summer, wistful and praising
Like the peace blowing dandelion seeds
Risking the rain’s rhythmic showers,
Against blades of tempting July sprinkling
Haphazardly against the wonders beyond
Silent prayers, raised by last night’s
Moon glowing against the glistening backdrop
Stars listening for August’s trembling voice,
Arriving on the dusty parched memories
Colored precariously in the sensations breathing,
Echoing in the noonday whispers, clouds
Hoping to share their heartfelt sequence with
Yesterday, before the summer discovers it’s answers
Poured out in cerulean skies, lasting – enduring
The temptation to just let go of her first glimpse of laughter
Falling over the night, wishing for the pulsating
Effervescent waves splashing melancholy
Into the face of a breathless truth, the moment
When hope meets faith and the promise of true love
Stirs the chances, risking shame and humiliation,
Stunning the source of her imagination,
Awaking to the mists of passivity, still like a dream
Drifting through the promises, pursued by the soul
Who believes, always believes … muses
Quivering, unsteady as the jolts of lightening against a sky
Filled with glittery liquid, streaming and fading
Wistful as the spirit who has been raided by oysters,
And pearls who tempt the light into fading,
Reassuring the evening, dusk brings a gentle grace,
Soothing away the heat and making the heart a vow
To begin once again, to begin to reveal the hope
Who knows that every moment, each priceless twinkling
Is the experience preparing joy to kiss away the doubting
Caress the impression of God’s mercy rustling
Through the profile of branches, feeling the breath,
So subtle, erasing the past with its laughter,
Healing the heart and calming the thoughts so forever
Is only one breath from the moment when I smile
Into the gaze of nostalgic moods, the reflection
Who silences every shimmer of starlight, quiets
Even the dark’s discontent with a forever that is alive,
Eternity rides within the silhouette of the cross
Where He left us with the imprint of His heaven sent promise
Filled with a grace, abundant beyond our dreams,
Grace that cannot deceive, grace that can never, ever leave!
