Love Poem: Cradling Beauty

Cradling Beauty

I’m just
             Lying here thinking
Butterfly thoughts,

Cradling beauty in my arms,

Hummingbirds and
Lady lacewings
Aflutter lovely in my mind

I’m just lying
     Here, form-fitted
To my mattress, goose-down
             Feathers at my head,
                                            Crying in
For the joy of it

Sparkling snowflake tears
Drift softly
                  d
                   o
                   w
                    n
melt into petals of clear-pond
          water lilies

               afloat
on the shiny surface of my 
newly glistening soul

Here is the peaceful place –
Here the endless room of rainbows

I am home,
Welcome home,

I

Am

Home!
