A Sweetness

A Sweetness

A Poem by Spencer Barker

Morning and it was. 
Sweet smells, sweeter than the next, sweeter than the rest, 
gliding through the hallways, ever ghost-like, 
in its path, encouraging its victims. 
Windows shine, couches glimmer, 
even the stove top simmers. 
Clouds pace back and force as if awaiting a late guest, and pink rose sky stands on end, 
in introduction.  
Oh what a pleasant sight! 
The ever so loving light. 
Birds wake, chirping in songs of love, 
with the occasional dove. 
A stream of feathers and songs all come from the houses. 
But two. 
Their feathers ruffle and sway, these two birds, why don't they go away. 
And it was with this I saw. 
They sung together, ruffled together, and loved.
And gone. 
But, a sweetness clouded over, and with that, I saw her. 
Her. 
As bright and beautiful as the 
sun itself, tinged with the love and care of a rose. 
Then our hands closed into the other,
leading into the pink weather, 
to celebrate our day.
