AN ALTERNATIVE AWAKENING

in companionable thought

you come to sit beside me

a luminous lark of visions warm

wearing veils of easily removed mystery

so passionately quiet and deeply self rooted

a calm lone beloved man

seeing out from a place where others

can or choose to see only in

proud doesn't know the half of this you

that I've come to be so happily acquainted to

your presence brings me joy

even without a face to rest my curious eyes upon

but that's just vanity's wish talking in my head

your smile though I feel is a beacon

to those who need its  beam

you honor me with this generous opportunity to

get to know you better

an atestament to your spirit's admirable grain

I promise you whole heartedly here and now

not to squander such selfless present

but keep close in your mind

that sometimes the so lavishly wrapped gift

can elude even its giver

until the box itself is completely opened

we both must remain fully aware of this fact

and though this is not a love poem

the like you may have wished to receive

still

its an honest confession from a gentle true

heart

one loving soul's words reaching out to another

AN ALTERNATIVE AWAKENING

one might even say

some sorrow even perhaps it can help to aleve

a heart felt Thank You dearest emotionally

generous William Paul

for drawing me so warmly into your lovely

glowing firesides flame

through these very words I embrace you in

glorious awe!

very nice. I've enjoyed reading some of your poems and will return again to indulge myself.
