Her emerald eyes speak
only truth
her smile
only joy
captured in the morning
light
a leap of faith
a ploy
to ransom me
from loneliness
to rescue me
from pain
that plagues my heart
in the marmalade light
and comforts me
with rain
to wash away
a broken world
where grace
has been displaced
her whispers
carry sacred balm,
my agony
erased
while votives
light my frightened way
to her amazing heart
in a soothing slant
of sunshine
enchanting everything
the other world won’t.
