Song For A Beautiful Soul

Aug. 23, 2011

I set aside desire's hands

To see you as you truly are

A vision come from eastern lands

Or fallen from some distant star,

A miracle of flowering grace

A song that quickens in my heart

The haunting beauty of your face

A Masterpiece of the Maker's art.

And yet I know that you are more

Than hand might touch or eye might see,

A living goddess to adore

A wave of laughter charming me

To silence as I gaze awhile

And bask in the sunlight of your smile.
