Stunner



Stop my day in your memory
I cannot take this walk this way
You blessed, caressed, thoughts had brought
My heart a beat it had not sought
It was inside like lightning on fire
Burning a hole like a shooting star caged
How was it so, as like I knew your soul
And show, show, show, it did to me
A word so blended and yet meant for me
A poem long ago in awe of me
And where its worth had taken me
For you one brighter day to see
That pure life was meant to grow from within me
Though it's eyes were blind to what had been
And it's hurting cries screamed understand me
I mean, every sound is a bird set free
For it was made from a God
Every cell by the hand
Yet distant the minds from this revelation
And thus such care from imagination
Brought about such mild illumination
Je taime, amore, ti amo grew
My God in me was free to glow
Since before I was born you were meant to be
Yearned for so long
A branch to a tree
To nestle in mine
A dove to shine
In earth's devine
Blessing of time
