Weak Spots Ix

The muse of a dreamy gaze,
The memory of a mutual moment,
Heightened affection and excitement, 
An intake of breath for more

The expansion of the stars
In a stretch of sky above the world,
Glimmering gently—
Affecting profoundly

A tree that casts the wanting shade
That forms its body in the day
For love to birth under its branches—
Confessions uttered and deeds done

A freshness wafting into the nostrils
Stretching beyond the tallest branch
Clouds parting with the wind's guidance
Revealing the mighty faces of the heavens
