Today at Midwinter's eye, I saw you under The sun, a drop of light as it were under The shimmery snow you stood upon. And in the image of God we were made, I'd like to think he made the portrait Just for me, a delightful immortal Image that dances even at night around The round moon of January's cold.
I cannot give you more than You have just given me as though You bestowed upon me a spoonful Of star, and as I walked I saw your butterfly's journey, the ringing of Freedom's bell, I rejoice in the perfect Memory as though an angel would pass Here on earth to witness a miracle And then swiftly return to eternity. But what I can offer you is the music Of sky upon water, the depth of a diamond's Gaze; the birth of Springtime in your Eyes,the eternity in a flash which is the Whole of my life, I offer you the foam of The beach where we will make love, I will swim in your rivery hair and not Drown, I offer you my soul dancing In a forest with tree flowers and adventure On the rainiest days, I give you a child That has not been born but knows You as Mother, the miracle is you love. I give you the ground I walk on, and all The little birds and animals you can fathom.
Take these my humble gifts, My love eternal,
Dedpoet
P.S. Also take the skies and all the stars, All that I wish for you.
