Euphoria
Euphoria is like a breathless smile, the laughter of a child, the kiss of a lover who remembers each hint of a feeling felt when you’re with him ~ by poet
Just before dawn’s caress,
There is a gentleness, a silence
Feels like the earth has been blessed
By the whisper, balancing
Tenderness and trust, trembling
Like the breathless race for shadows
Dancing, silhouettes of moonlight
Stars cascading beneath
Falling dew, drizzling like teardrops
Over the roses in the gardens
Beautiful alive in the excitement so soon
Cast aside as the past’s honesty
Just before the morning light,
There is a music, melody of hope
Doubting the darkness,
Holding onto the song, like praise
Pouring over the seas, the trees,
Waving laughter upon the heart,
Wishing for wonders
Beyond what can be heard
In the rainfall, the snowflakes
Coating the earth in brilliant hues
Faithful and pure,
Like euphoria, in lingering blue
Sapphire and azure
Piercing the promises with nimble
Wistful, feathery feelings
Riding the reflections of the sun
Just before the caress of day
There beyond the vista, mountains
In emerald and hesitating
With poetry driven by the echoes
From falling snow, rain clouds
Mesmerizing words abiding in the soul
Who knows that these dreams,
Peaceful and serene, awaken
A need, a longing who believes
With time, there comes
The mountaintop experience,…
Believing that is beyond even phenomenal
It is mind-blowing, incredible
Beautiful that expresses its blessings
Through dazzling clusters of stardust
Kissing the light and making alive
The inspiration that comes to life inside
Where the grace that abides
Sings joy in June truths, using
Only the guidance of a delicate rose
Silencing the past with kindness
That becomes the way for love
To pour out from His spirit, above
Where we know He carries the world
On shoulders so strong they can hold up
More than we can bring when we fall
On knees, pleading for relief
From the endless need – our humanity
Brings when we are born into a world
Of sin and shame, a world where
Light is the answer to darkness
And His love is the answer to fear
The answer to the tear that stings
Even the compassion He brings when
He gives His ultimate gift, forgiveness
In a world that is unforgiving, so very
Needful of the Friend who is Jesus,
The Prince of Peace, the King of Kings –
The WAY to make it in a world of grief!
