The tender words I sometimes cannot speak (8/12/86)

The tender words
I
sometimes cannot speak
yet feel
are yours
as my eyes probe
darkened skies
for a sun
to push
highlit moments
into flare;
Like a flame
for you to see
a fire that burns
as not
to leave a wound.
And could I be
one
of the many
God's grace
has left with this love?
Inverting
even blindness
to sight
only
by feeling;
As walking
hand in hand
heart to heart
functioning
as if forever
were for now.
I will be
as time
living
in the today
yesterday has begun;
Only you
to find me
when I am lost;
Forgive me
as when I am wrong;
And love me
as moments
change
and years
become
a lifetime.
