somewhere
between the road signs
Hi & Dri Boat Storage
and
Have you talked to the Lord Today
I looked over
watched you sleep
chest
gently lifts
caught in window light
prisms
angels pirouette
on rainbows
as we passed
through Egypt Grove
Dylan sang
Blowin in the Wind
I said a quiet prayer

The ending of this is very clever, it speaks of such love and makes the whole resonate……..it is a tiny moment in time perfectly captured and poems such as these I love, recreations of the sacred, they are difficult to pull off but you sure did that here. Sorry, just woke up and can only attempt coherency.

You’ve made a picture with your words. Just that instant that every lover knows.
