Flowers cut
in curved crystal
decorate the bodice
of a would-be Grecian urn.
Shapely, see-through
lamp on bedside table
has much to teach me tonight.

Fingers trace
scalloped contours
that stretch so gracefully
toward source of light reflecting
off her surface,
revealing spaciousness
filled with airy kisses sweet.

Feelings stirred
by her elegance,
I hope to become more
beautiful in my reaching
for starry sky,
I pray to know, reflect
God, seek illumination.
