Sensing the Mystery

I see you~

   Gifting me graciously

      with diamond-studded snow drifts

         and crystal-covered branches

      with endless bouquets

         of carefully-cultivated roses

         and wildly sprawling violets

      with softly glistening moon-lit pools

         and fireflies sparkled dance

   In ribbons of romance

      of sunlight fading

      of raindrops prisming

      of multi-colored images of You

         faces of purest beauty

         incarnations of Love

I hear you~

   Whispering words

      dancing on dreams

      giggling with grace

         through childhood bliss

         escaping their lips

   Spoken through scripts

      of traditional teachings

      of fictional fantasy

      of mystical melody

      of lilting lyrical longing

I smell you~

   In antique earthy aromas

      the ground breaking in spring

      the fresh-cut grass

      spicy snaps of autumn leaves

      smoky wood-burned wonder

I taste you~

   The sweet seduction

      of salted sweat

   The burning agony

      of bitter wine

   The deep fullness

      of dark coffee

         light

I feel you~

   In blissful breezes breathing

      with teasing tickles

         like fingers in my hair

   In sunlight's warm embrace

      softly caressing kisses

         the thrill of lover's touch

I love you~

   for this longing to know

   to feel understood

   to dwell in the question

the sweet mystery of You
