kindness
David Snyder
there is kindness and salvation in her smile
a priceless gift that Christmas week
it is radiant, shames the sun
again and again she blessed me
with the miracle she allowed me to behold
for twenty-five minutes it got me out of bed
on the hunt for one more benediction
she is ambrosia
nectar of the gods
my thirst insatiable
I would stand, lost
enraptured in the moment
longing for the next
savoring every precious detail
deep within her eyes
twin electric brown pools of Serenity
I drown
reborn is the day—the ecstasy of the agony renewed
excited by your presence, I mourn farewell
hallelujah!
it is glorious
yet never enough
how can eternity contain my adoration
how can I repay
what she has so freely given
I need to diffuse myself into the enormity of her grace
ghosts of her linger
she comforts me
Amen.
