Possibility's Promise

kharismatus
came off his lips
branded to the flesh
of my memory, so deep
as to leave a scar that i
trace with my mind's index finger
and lovingly remember its purpose

Set aside
Bride before ceremony
pastels and white blossoms
Songs of fights, flights and victories
Personal moments that can never be
explained to those who don't know you
But completely understood by those who do

Big Country
Smiles and visions
that comprehend issues
and colors invisible to the shaken
Wonders, feasts and weddings where
the old dance in memory and the young
frolic in the fancies of possibility's promise
