Intuition's whispers, a gentle breeze,
Revealing what

If You Can Find Me
Find me among elusive stars, 
Through the deep calling 
Of a bird's night-song, and I
Will come for you dressed in a shadow.

In Wonder
She washes away all tiredness
adores me through late evenings

with lips gentle as flowered beads -

in love, she names me

through grace of prayer.

A gentle breeze came blowing by
To brush her face and sing the sky
A misty blush of twilight rose 
In melody of sweet repose
