Best Dressed
Indigo whispers in denim mysteries,
Retelling inspirations, muses
On trembling cotton, blessing away
Dark fictions with gentle words,
Psalms and wisdoms, written in lessons,
Breathing hope, faith and love,
Remembering the heart, the soul, the spirit,
Revealing the light beyond the materials…
Rayon dresses, worn on Sunday
Worn to weddings, funerals, events
Where faded jeans and t-shirt themes
Aren’t exactly the best selections,
Where hearts and souls divulge their dreams,
In vibrant satins, whispers of pink,
Blushing rose and savory crimson, purple
Leaves the heart feeling blessed
By the risk of dressing beyond my means,
In gentle silk, soothing and graceful
Like the stars in the sky, the moon with its light,
Providing the night a stillness that plummets
Insights and imagination, soothing away
Every fear, all desperation….
Poetry sighs, in beautiful cries
Singing to the soul who hears the promises
Wrote by feelings, emotions so gentle,
Feelings in flowing emeralds, silent ivory
Forests of graceful flowers,
Musical tones, sent by lavender
While the sunny moods risk nothing,
To prove that life isn’t meant to be lived
Without the joy of sharing your wardrobe
Secrets beyond the attire, poured
Over a heart who confides its light
To everyone who hears what isn’t spoken
By a closet as bold as the clever notes
Found in heavily scented roses,
Discovered in those who know – always know
A measure of your dreams seem to cling to
The closet that holds your best dress!
