Crystalline Bliss

Beholden love
Breathing hope
Of soft wishes
Soothing souls
Playing songs for the morrow

Drinking in morning goblets of sun
Flickering prisms, capturing
My attention
Butterfly wishes in heart shaped dishes
Where have I heard that before?

Moonrise upon sunset
Wash on the waters edge
Moot points made in redundant patterns
In this kaleidoscope of city side walks
And ocean beaches lined up with stars

Piecing together what ifs and why nots
Pleading in places unnecessary
For present understanding
Black hearts turned blue
Fighting for life and lost memory

Winning hearts and not fading
Into nothing if just for a millisecond
Begging for second chances
We feel the soft underbelly
Of human nature

Knowing what was lost
Never really is
What we thought was misplaced
Was always really there
Stealing moments in time

Precious few and far between
Content with what is...
Cradling what’s true
Drinking what is sweet
Inhaling breath for life
To watch it bloom

In fragrant dream-scapes
Of life passing fast before us
Seeking contentment
For broken hearts.....
Become crystalline bliss.
