though I've heard it for the first time, today,
Somewhere in my stretching arteries,
a shout,
a pounce,
an "I've got you!"
Now, where did that come from?
Some melody wrapped around my throat,
Choking on joy, the glow and blush
of cheeks raised. The notes easing aches,
And causing entirely different intestinal pains,
My toes tap the new heart rhythm...
I've seen glimmers in eyes,
heard the stars and their high notes, but there's
Something like comfort in your gaze,
Like a song sung by our mother, like
A song sung before the lapse in innocence,
And my instinctual reaction to hymns like that, is to shiver, to shudder, an attempt to contain,
Soon my lids will close to your light,
but my soul will
dance
uplifted
by your harmony.
