~~~~Concludes the poem "Dark Angel"
Tones
Speak to me in many waters
Wash away the dirt and grime
Lay my body upon the altar.
Transform me to another time.
May I be in line _ the first.
To press your palm upon my breast.
Quench this dry unending thirst
To calm my impatient heart to rest.
Alas!, You heed my being.
Offer me of your embrace.
For Your face is of my seeing.
Of its form my fingers trace.
Hands of worn callous strong.
Wrap me in salvations grace.
Hear thy name _ as put to song.
For on this virtue, my faith is based.
~~~For my Grandma 11152019
I think I can cry now.....
