With a Kiss
~ (~) In-the-moonlight from here echos carry far. Grace lays beside innocence amid the
shadows of love the measure of its hope, tranquility, delivered. (~) ~
~ (~) With a tender terry to-and-fro-amid the murky acceptance of the open streams,
dancing vibrantly humble weeds-can be-found rolling around in abandon toppling about-again-
and-again-up-under them then-and-again amid-the-forbidding mid the ambling waters off the
shores in lieu of the gentle undertow reflecting-of-their-brilliant-pastel-colored-luminescence
— shining boldly in their naked dance coming to land softly then... and-again — each upon the
mighty shores of the delta. And as they catch her eyes my youngster her passions. (~) ~
~ (~) Tender-as she is as she eyes them there their velvet petals crimson her love grows
sheltered between the bosom of the light. As she kneels down, reaches out between the wind,
and-thorn... to pick up their essence her quiet ladies their beauty blooming.? (~) ~
~ (~) Shadows scurry away, run... morning Sun wakes the dawn. Grateful eyes see,
remember. (~) ~
~ (~) Removed, bygone buried dead already I am... yes. No not bitter because grateful if the
truth be known, a willing man I am today. Wishing only to abide in peace with no regrets.
Because yes friend, found I have in the place of my bitterness, regret, today. (~) ~
~ (~) No, you know I know I haven't any room for this. Praying to be as I was born but-one
open soul my one driving ambition being, to be as complete. Absent of the motive of self
ready openly willing to be emptied recreated filled to-overflowing standing in the repose of His
peaceful pardon. This promise remains to be plenty for me enough. Asked God I did, for this.
Trust Him now I do. Honorable He is faithful, wiped my sin away He did... sealed it, with a
kiss.? (~) ~
~ (~) And now given-to me this, God's illustrious heart extended for me held up high! His love
has come, brought me to my knees... kept me. Echoes carry wanting only to raise lonely
ghosts of the past. His love has become my only reprieve. No kinder thought is there to wake
the morning. Carry onward with me, through the twilight-with-Him... fall asleep to in peace. (~) ~
