In Plain Sight
In plain sight,
I capture the first glance
of a boy who once was a stranger.
A stranger I’ve known many lifetimes.
my mind can always
take me to this look
It lives fondly in my memories.
I have known it many lifetimes.
In my bed I hold a boy,
overwhelmed , frightened, misunderstood.
In my arms his fears melt away;
He has known them many lifetimes.
Overnight,
I saw him become a man-
one who has never been a stranger.
In plain sight, another world begins.
Through the glass door, the clouds are melting
My angels open the sky for me
Precious pink and warm orange
paint themselves
above the cascading waves of our ocean
My life has been so much better
Seeing heaven everyday
This love has been gifted by the stars.
we have known it many lifetimes.
