Can I show you?

Can I show you the deepest blue ocean

where waves do not reach

only the quiet depths of the soul sit

reflecting each small bit of life

even one grain of sand

Will you fly with me through heaven

on a clear night

with the lone bird that circles

swoops and dives with nothing

to hem it in

a still motion dance

Will you journey with me down the path

that opens up a visual wonder

the trees, blue sky and clouds

the child on the street corner

the woman in the pink dress

picking flowers

the empty beauty that runs

through each piece of it

unfolding joy

Will you warm yourself with this light

that is offered

and bask within it

forgetting all cares

Softening those crinkles on the brow

that have come

from attempting to understand

Will you forget with me awhile

what the whole game is about

and sit with your knees drawn up

like child

drinking in the moment

knowing your are loved

for just being
