BY YOUR VOICE, ANGELS SPEAK
Dawn lifts the stars from your gaze
and pours them into the pitcher of daybreak.
My rapture, in the pearl of sight,
kindles remembered fire,
while heaven down your eyelashes
descends into my living shadow
and scattered paths.
Angels call you by name,
the vault of heaven rings in the dream of grass.
Intoxicating tenderness touches the morning,
hiding the real within a weave of silence.
A poet’s flame permeates the senses
so that into eternity your beauty may fall,
like the sun that bathes the whole earth.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
And your gaze lays low
in the echo of singing radiance,
a mantle of pearl and crystal.
Tenderness illumines me,
dreams burn with foreboding,
and I fall silent when I hear how angels
speak in your voice
