Life's Weight

When life leans heavy and long

casting its unclear shadow upon your path

feel love's bottomless fountain flowing

touching tenderly your awaiting cheek
sweetly enrapturing your heart
like a small child lost in wonder
as you feel love's golden chalice
touching your lips gracefully
pouring its honey wine deeply
into your soul's open chest
infusing that titillating fantasy
that should guide your steps
when nobody else is looking
or even if they should be
where only you can see its light
the light that is you
in perfection
untouched
by worldly cares
seeking no reward for the love you give
and receiving that free echo back
a thousand times amplified
repaying no debt
given only to please
no one at all
yet wishing
all should be kissed
by that soft blanket's velvet shimmer
wrapping the world with you
as ambassador of giving
grateful for the moment
transfixed by its splendor
recalling no purpose
other than being
the sunrise
that you are
