A Vision
A vision of your pale features comes to mind-sight
Your life eyes smile intelligence and reassurance
Finger-points bloom around us—connecting light
I yearn to embrace your heart and feel your love
To enshroud myself in heaven’s doves
Pastures and streams have led me straight to you
And the last thing I want to do is turn away
Scattering willowy clouds our way
A lone raindrop falls from my death eye and trickles
It seeps into the ground to avoid you
As the waters of sustenance sift in currents
Longing too for eternal bonds
The lilies and sunbeams wish to shape your smile
My hand lifts—stretching out shakily to you
As you move ever nearer in the bright
Our hands touch—fingertips electrified
A surge of pain and patience running through us both
It has been far too long a departure
My hand no longer shakes the secret fear
Lips slowly meet—forming one being
Hands interlace and bodies decide
You are so sure of what you do
That doubt flees from my deceased view
Revealing space for the only form
You and I
Eternity greets reality
Dreams welcome fate
