With his weary fingers bending Around the neck, touching the strings Like he caresses his wife, intimately Struggling to feel the perfect pose Music softens the moments of solitude ~ Within her grasp she grips gently Round the brush, tenderly, with affection Clasping as she would a child’s cheek Whispering smooth strokes along the canvas Painting the reflections of her feelings ~ With his work worn hands feeling Manipulating the clay, moving it quietly Swaying, dancing, molding the mud Wrestling the shape into a form he envisions Will reach into another’s soul, sending wisdom ~ Within her embrace are sweet mares, stallions Listening with bent ear to her murmurs Reciting to them, revealing, peaceful dreams Collections of wise hopes that create steeds Who will be ridden across the mountains and beaches ~ With his ability to speak with the fragrant earth Cultivating emerald stalks and seas of vivid blooms Reflections of sun and rain, rising from the hazy morn Waking to honeyed hues of dewdrop roses and ferns Purifying the ground with seeds that abound, grow wild ~ Within her anointed grip, she holds treasured mysteries Crafting quilts, pillows, a history of needle and threads Brilliantly colored yarns that dance with tantalizing dyes Hinting at sensitive gestures known only to hands born For fashioning yards of linen with a skill that is mystifying ~ With his passionate muse capturing the emotions known Only to those who have felt strongly; love, joy, intimacy Moods that dance from the pages filled with so many words Verses, prose and poems, welcoming the reader’s attention To details which brave the weather and come alive with insights ~ Gifts sent from heaven to souls who long to give back to Him Some small creation which will help another see that the answers All point toward the creator who gave these gifts of love!
