Above the burning,
and below the cold of all
the sad killing fields;

 

Where poetry sighs,
smiling magic in the lap
of flesh and blood joy;

 

Upon the shoulders
of elders carved beautiful
by sage artistry;
 
 

Where a starbright gown
trails healing through gardens of
eternity’s laughter;
 
 

In the arms of dreams
that shepherd hope through the eyes
of praying children;

 

Under waterfalls
bristling silk storms from the shores
of my skin to yours;
 
 

In the touch of a
woman glowing firemilk through
the tips of her breasts;

 

Afloat on rhythms
of minds too stoned on love to
recall how bombs work;
 
 

At the edge of a
man’s kiss casting holy spells
of sweet compassion;
 
 

Inside the beauty
of faith’s unburied treasure
sparkling truth and hope;

 

Beneath trees of song
heavy with angelic light,
evergreen with strength;

 

Upon the wings of
nightingales trilling comfort
to embattled grace;
 
 

In your heart’s whisper,
soft as love, that truly all
is well with your soul.
