Sunlight through stain glass
Soprano voices and church organs
Sun-kissed skin in tones of brass
Bronze and cinnamon tans
All that I love, I want it all.
A full moon on still night ponds
Or raindrops causing ripples through
Intricate moves of the chessboard pawns
The knight that crossed unevenly too
All that I love, I want it all.
Morning dew on green lawns
Humming birds that to and fro dart
Love, like beautiful white swans
Forever together, never to part
All that I love, I want it all.
Hymns, songs and poetry alike
Of quarrels within captured hearts,
Or glass slippers dropped when midnights strike
“happily ever afters”,”til death do us parts”
All that I love, I want it all.

Pithy, precise captures of those moments C.S. Lewis describes in “Surprised by Joy.” I like the rhythm, imagery, word relationships and flow. An excellent work.
Thank you for taking your time to read my work.
Likewise!

Very lyrical. Where is your About Page? Or do you choose to remain a mystery?
I haven’t had the time to finish my page. For now it will have to remain a mystery. Thank you for taking the time to read this poem.
You’re welcome.
