The Perfect One
(a swap quatrain poem)
I contemplate the essence that is you -
the joy that in your lovely eyes shines through,
the atmosphere of peace your words create.
The essence that is you - I contemplate.
I marvel at your understanding ways;
to those who need it most, you give sweet praise.
So patient, caring, loving. . . all of that!
Your understanding ways - I marvel at.
I feel such tenderness when you are near.
and when you're gone away, I long to hear
your voice and hold you with a long caress.
When you are near, I feel such tenderness.
I wonder - is there nothing you can't do?
How perfect you appear. Could it be true
you've never made one perfectly big blunder?
Is there nothing you can't do? I wonder!
I stand in awe of everything you are.
To all whose lives you touch, you are a star,
and from your radiant light, your love we draw.
Of everything you are, I stand in awe.
