kiss

the dawn spoke an introduction

and i met my love, again.

at the line of this new day

we shook hands. and

decisively it spilled forth

to place a lavish cooling kiss

upon the soles of my feet.

an occurence that i have desperately missed

for some untold years now.

as it unfolded in wisdom

across the bend of my soul,

i felt a seeping kindness

invade and hijack the cracks of my heart.

as if to shore up the ditches and

valleys left by past blistered marks

of grief's pain.

gently it sang out an operatic verse

of compassion. penned

uniquely for my open pure hearing.

it then reached upon the sky,

grabbed a white feather crayon and

swam out a "thank you". 

for waiting patiently

in tears.

for still desiring

its touch.

in that moment

humility brought the horizon

to dusk. and mercy promised to

hold me forever.

believing in the forever certain
of such a thing grandly caught me

by beautiful surprise.

it felt of the taste of melted blended

buttery chocolate on a breezychilled day.

in rested response, 

my delight fullness bowed back in awe.

and eternal grace led me

in a dance for the ages of time

to come.

peaceD
