Sometimes

at night

I wake

with a

mad man's

torn and

bitter soul.


and a

mad man's

hard and

tempered

heart.


it is here

that the

years

have carried

me ashore.


to all these

unanswered

questions

of life's

struggles.


all of

the people

around me

who have

been stained

by their

tears of love

as they

come and

go.


as they

come and

go.


but not

you,


a rekindled spark

is in

your eyes.


you have

settled here.


and there

is a calm

wake upon

the water

that is

all around

you


and you

move in

rhythm

with him

in your

heart and

mind,


and God as

your witness


on your

wedding day,


love will

make you an

angel of

innocence

again,


and you

will fall

like natures

******

snow upon

a Colorado

field.


to cover

your love


from life's

cold winters

night


to arise

in spring


renewed.


with your

lover's

first kiss

of morning

upon your

lips ,


and his smile

is inside your

eyes anyone

can see.

in this

tenderest

of moments,


you have

found your


heart again.
