By The Wave Of His Light Ray Wand Poem by Susan Lacovara

You came in disguise of summer
Full
With a sunflower yellow grin
Giving me reason to believe
In the warmth you projected
Least I knew your tendency
For sudden scorching
So little had I learned
From my past
Dancing too near a fire
Too near a fire

You came in disguise of water
Fresh as morning dew droplets
Clinging to my petals
Moistened lips to press unto mine
And I, all too thirsty
To drink from your well
Fell into the swells
Of unforeseen selfishness
I was pulled under
By shifting currents
Gasping for air
While going down, down deeper down

You came in disguise of rainbows
Stretched out
Against the disappearing clouds
Colors so vibrant
I could NOT look away
YOU offering vast blue possibilities
Leading to promises of certain reward
All to acquire
RIGHT THERE, within my reach
If I, to courageously brave the journey
Up and over the bending horizon
To attainable heights I dared never dream
SO HIGH..SO HIGH...SO DANGEROUSLY HIGH
How disastrous the fall...

You came in disguise of calm
Of clarity
Proclaiming your soul was resurrected by love
IN LOVE...AND OH, SUCH LOVE.....
An anointed glorious gift
Sent and received
From God's own hand
Baptized in the bath
Of beginning again
Sin no more!
I was your salvation
We filed each other's spirit
Uplifted on wings
Both butterflies and angels
No bargaining for betterment
Heaven was ours
Strung out stars
Joining full moon miracles
Presenting us a banquet of beautiful

You came in disguise of holding my heart
How quickly you let it slip
Through your hands
I struggle now
To understand
Who I am....
Who you were...
What we had...
WHY NOT US? ? ?
How could you choose to forget
We had the chance
For a most magical love
How many get to say that?
