Reflections and Shadows

There is One

There is one who does take me by spell

more so than the mystic twilight hour,

Upon me the sunrise or sunset

has never had such power.

.

Sparkling gems and shimmering stars

have not the luster of her eyes,

that pierce me through heart and soul

only to happily mesmerize.

.

Songbirds nor soft rain chatter

can bring my ears such delight,

as the honey sound of her voice

that erases my plight.

.

The full moon's reflection

on the calm sea below,

fails to match the splendor

even of my light's shadow.

.

A gleaming rainbow under Heaven

set against the sky so blue,

is a wondrous sight indeed

but pales against the beauty I know is true.

.

Days will dream as they do and

nights will whisper as they go,

to remind me always of that Grace

which warms me with a glow.
