Which Door?

I felt the beauty
that flows in your heart
ribbons of time
that bind us in part


I’ve seen the majesty
of your smile,
lighting the days
forever in miles


Your gaze was a balm
to the hurt inside,
pealing the layers
that covered a mind


A courage that inspires
the valiant to awe,
even in tears,
a strength seeps to pour


In anger the tremble
speaks to all leagues,
thoughts are tender 
and spoken with ease


In blood you’ve fought
the demons of hell,
In kindness you wove
a love lasting spell


Rainbows that sparkle
flow in your wake,
the ripples that spread
killing all hate


With faith I hope
for eternity with you,
Holding my heart
I start to step through
