The Holy |
 |
|
Bright cliffs
of youth.
Sweetness
of rainwater
on summer's tongue.
Birds
painting autumn's prayer
of spring,
upon a winter sky.
A cat nursing
her young
beneath the slanted roof
of the falling sun.
Old dogs hunting,
on the wooden porch of sleep.
The great Oak
that holds a river
in its arms.
Moments of music,
... an old guitar.
Lips of a girl
holding...
all a man
should die for.
My eyes,
finally,
weeping for names upon The Wall.
All Holy!
Freedom glowing as a bright lantern
beside the road
that leads to home.
Holy!
the candle.
Holy!
the window.
Holy!
the prayer of family.
A Mother's eyes,
A fathers tear,
as he holds his only child.
Restless
are the dreams
of the unborn child.
The darkness moves upon a mountain
struggling
toward light.
Holy life
and Holy death,
holding hands upon the face of Earth.
... always
and always
Holy.
... always
a rainbow,
floating
in the sky of the mind. |
