Blind Embrace
Love, a blinding light,
aimed in my direction
for no reason I can fathom,
shines through me now
and all of my faults,
my doubts & insecurities
float to the surface
like brackish debris
only to be burned away
by the searing
light of its presence.
Having felt your light
turned my way,
and having been offered up
as though I deserve
this stellar pass,
come now to me,
and lay your ethereal head
upon my shoulder.
Hold it there
and dream, a dream
of summer days
and nights of passion,
of giving with no end
and acceptance
without limit.
Sing a song
to me now
of praise and laughter,
whose rhyme and meter
match my heart
as I could never have known
without your grace.
Soon you will dance
far and away from me,
just out of sight
never out of mind,
and I will always
see your figure
dancing madly on
the distant hilltops,
culling hearts and dreams
from any who can see.
Though friendship is
the best that
one can hope,
still you linger
at my side
like it is never
time to go.
And when you leave,
to that distant horizon
the door will be ajar,
I will be here waiting
most each and every day
for that knock and call
to come bringing back
the white heat,
like a blast furnace,
that surrounds me,
and leaves my imperfections,
my foolish pride and
long intemperance,
to be healed for a time
in that most blinding embrace.
