-sacred Kisses Poem by Debora Short

-sacred Kisses

Rating: 2.2


Early morning mists envelop and swirl
Beneath Smokey’s English topography

By day, she sports a stylish new fall coat
Angled vertical ripples in sepia

With textured points of cedar-ed green
Contrasting veins of rust invading her

Lofty domain now halo-ed in fiery
Magenta - fused cyan and yellows

Printing hallowed images in my
Photographic lifetime-d memories

Arising to this early morn’s sacred kiss
With morning’s peace cupped in steaming

Tea, quietly waking my sleepy space
Wrapped in sixty watt electric lights

Serenity affording sweet silence
A gift sent so I might read in His stillness

(White-Noise Free, Tennessee

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
William Jackson 31 July 2008

Reading in His stillness. Savoring the sacred. Truth, beauty, kindness, the life of God. These are the things that matter. Fine poem, Debora. I like the alliteration, the crisp imagery, the ideas you have expressed.
