the fondness of a calming touch,

humor light as air,

a cooling chime of words,



sunsets in regal crimson, 

violet flame,



sea waves that burst

like angel hands raised up

in prayer,

fireworks of water 

praise

in sprays of starred hosanna

bowed to sand

before a guiding God,



the signing, lifting sigh

of limber rhyme

entwined



in care beyond holding 

or form



are for you.
