The outlook changes

The outlook changes

With a smile.

And warmth returns

To the eyes.

With the lifting

Light is restored

Where once

Darkness ruled.

And in their

Twinkling

All aspects of life

Are in equilibrium.

Her skin,

Dappled with

A lively family

Of silken threaded freckles

Begins to glow

I hear them laughing,

Happy to taste

The air

They tumble and fly,

Free of constraint,

Chasing the sun.

As she begins to dance

They sing.

‘Dance with me.’

The words

Slip between

Sunbeam fingers,

I join with them,

As together

We meld

Into

Formless

Harmony,

And delight

In the tender,

Timeless,

Touch of love.
