Sight

I see In your eyes The beginning of Time Fragrant flower In new-made Earth Unfolding its soft blush of color Many-petaled splendor In the blinking morn… I see In your face The sharp blade of sorrow Born of a legion Of tempest-tossed tears The wisdom of the ages Encapsulated there… I see In your heart The soft ray of starlight Glistening like sapphire Through the void Of blackest night… I see Now and forever Are one and the same With you here beside me Together I see. ~ Laurence Overmire (Previously published in Potpourri Romance, Dec.1999)
