Song #60



All the books
On my table
Can’t possibly
Tell me
What to say
When I think of
You,
What your picture
In my mind
Stirs up
In my heart
Every time
I hear your name.

All the songs
In my CD
Couldn’t carry
In a pitch bucket
The melody
Ringing deep
In my soul
As you speak of
Little moments or
Bigger dreams.

The rainbow
Shines only in
Black and white
Next to the color of
Your smile,
The hues in
Those sparkling eyes,
And the spectrum of
Love I feel
While I’m near you.

The only expression
For such a beautiful
Gift from God
Is:

You.
