" SUBTLE CAROUSEL"

The anticipation of flowers and cherry trees, these lazy days
Where we agree, that in the very nature of love's resistance, there is bliss
To be nurtured and tended to, that the energy's ever seductive ways
Are penetrating the subtle body language of impending kisses
And Crazy Love, the kind that won't just sit there, hoping we'll resist
It's climbing upward into our consciousness, ever mindful of the playground
Where loneliness rides the carousel, a ghostly stallion, going round and round
On a ride of passing pleasures that steal away the subtle silences
And strange contrivances that lead us into the light of God's intent
Where we stand proudly basking in forever, like silly children
On that carousel where winter comforts align with springtime
Bringing holidays like happy rhymes into our forever awestruck, minds
So now, when I am with you, on the phone, or doing SKYPE
You are my path, my faithful wonder, you are the seeds from which my life
Have grown a brimming luster, the glow of love
The joy of life.....
