What You Are
By John Herlihy

You are the dawn of which I speak;
When I see you, I feel utterly weak.

You are the twilight that tingles my toes;
When darkness falls, I forget all my woes.

You are the sound that fills my silence;
Your melody unveils its sheer brilliance.

You are the silence that erases all sound;
I hear whispers and entreaties all around.

You are the mystery that always prevails;
Revealing such tenderness when it unveils.

You are the child to the grown up man;
Your innocence no evil can withstand.

You are the friendship that takes my hand;
Two hands clasped, your wish my command.

You are the love that flowers and blooms;
Filling my heart and its assorted rooms.

You are the secret that should never be told;
Feathers of bird wings with softness you hold.

You are the light that disperses all darkness;
I give myself fully to You in humble awareness.

A gentle poem of many levels. I can identify with every one.

This is quite the commitment that I believe many feel but don't talk about. It takes a dissector of the heart and soul, like you, to bring about its conscious awareness. Beautiful!

Love ya!

To me, this can be interpreted on a number of levels but it seems to me as well that this probably in reference to your relationship with a "higher power." Of course, I could be completely in error. But that is the beauty of poetry; interpretation is in the mind of the reader. Love and peace to you, John.

"You" is on the receiving end of this wonderful list of praise, whoever "you" are.
