Sometimes called a
hidden diamond or pearl..
Meaning a recognition
seemingly hidden..of
the identity of each of us
which bears the
fruit of real happiness..

The recognition happens
in any time or place
but the odds are improved
with a gardener's nurturing
or a teacher's mention of
the joy of the return
..whatever it takes..

Facing now toward
the morning sun...

Somewhere

in this

ancient

night.

,

your spirit

sleeps

deep.



and all

the essence

that is

you.



entwines

and breathes

and moves

in everything

that is

around

you.



it is a

shadow

dance

you do,



that binds

you engrains

you in

everything

that you

are.



and from

now on

every day

I feel

its energy,



breathe

it's scent,



it intoxicates

me to dream

of you.



in life's

slumber

moments,



it inspires me

to give you

peace and hope

and love at any

moment,



that you feel

that there

is none.

Such a clear sky tonight,
There were so many stars, yet one shined the brightest.

And I wondered who was it up there trying to talk and brighten my night?
