Joy's Waking Song

Each moment's rising woes belong

beneath a fleeting starlit night;

in you, I hear joy's waking song …

dire darkness withers far from sight.

What magic lies within your soul,

dares harness this unquiet mind?

A patient sculptor melding whole,

unveiling wonders -- redefined.

Like holy water 'pon my skin,

your gently-cleansing touches, rain.

All worries fade away … wherein,

love chimes in echoing sustain.

In you, I've found my hiding place;

its restful haven shelters me.

As morning's sun reveals true grace,

lone sparrow's wings soar high 'n free.

How glorious views soon appear,

enlightens wisdom truly told;

Tis looking glass beams brightly clear,

soft teary eyes of speckled gold.

well done says i! love the language and form ma'am! so very suites the love story told .. i relate it to the love relationship that is offered with each sunrise ... from Savior to sinner ... placing such a sacred trust in a human will always fail us .. but not our Creator and God. peace and joy .. i will be making it a point to dwell on tears of speckled gold as the sun rises this morning .. right here in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. ;) of course the love found between human beings is a real gift when it is mutual and balanced .. finding its magic is precious indeed.

love and support can turn "soft teary eyes" to gold...
and that kind of companionship is priceless...
even a lone sparrow can fly high on love.
I really am taken by this piece...and I am so surprised there is not a review...
this is beautiful poetry...combining the idea of nature and the love of a significant other.
