Sickle to Soul
A
sun has touched earth, fuel has flooded souls, mind to
mind,
and heart to core. Passion is drenched in Paradise,
clouds
are speaking prose, even days are mingling
diamonds.
I come to love, reaching of old, flaming near
lagoons.
Every thought is preaching, leaving behind
death,
surging for a future. I love her as if breath has
disappeared,
knitting flair to quilt. Something has
moved
a fortress, where doors have flung open, and light
has
birthed a passion. I pause, muse intention, and weep
soundly.
What is this force, ever a ghost, fraught with
life?
I ask, axe to oak, sturdy for love. Our dearest source,
infuse
the dark, and spark a light. Else we perish, sullen
for
treasure, desperate to excel. My precious swan, pause
and
ponder, hear and listen, imbue a soul. Study to show
self
approved; indeed, absorb and be found; for love is
but
a fraction of wisdom, and knowledge is sickle to soul.
