If my words reach your eyes
or in your ears, let them also
touch your heart, your spirit
in a way that’s soft and gentle
soothing and calming
like keys on a piano in the treble
clef
or the strings on a violin that make
the cilia like hairs on your arms and
legs stand up and dance, t’if a warm
breeze titillating them
if by chance my words inspire to
picture
in your mind of cool sparkling brooks
and
streams so clear the eyes can see
pink
salmon running, deer drinking from
them and
upon its banks are strewn of flowery
meadows
to reminisce of memories fond and
loving
even if they cause tears to flow from
missing
love ones of those that have come and
gone
and even of loves faltered and hearts
scorned,
days forlorn, now passing of
dissipated mourn
if my words have touched your
sensibilities
then i shall have painted on your
diurnal canvas
for you to appreciate and share of
what is
in our hearts, our souls
