Diamond Light

As I am watching you go through your many paces,

in my mind’s eye, or for real,

suddenly I’ll see you make a move

– putting your arm gently around a crazy man,

firmly around a sick old woman,

handing me down a mountain gallantly –

or hear you play a gorgeous passage of your music,

and I feel the embers of deep love in me igniting.

Today I see the glimmers gathering at the apex

of a diamond glowing so deep

in the center of my inner darkness.

That touch of your being felt throughout mine

brings to light a love felt so exquisitely deeply

that it gives me courage to fight off any dragons

which might come between us, preventing

our enjoyment of that ignition of love.
