Jewel


Palm to palm, fingers intertwined
A maze of lives well lived
Gestural motions, blessings, devotions

A well of life’s lessons, wisdoms, questions
An honest recital of words unsaid,
A soul shared but not fled

Your smile stored under lock and key
...never to leave me

Lending my ear to the wind to catch your daydream
not yet lost

Placing my heart to the heavens to find your gospel
still looming in the light of your yesterday
