Her Name


Sometimes
I cannot
speak your name
but I can whisper it
against the sky
and change
the universe
inside me.

Against the gray clouds
it splits the heavens
spilling the sun
in great golden floods
to brighten the gloom
and bring hope
in the darkness.

Against the sun
it bends
and flows
and turns
a faultless rainbow
of pastel peace
with a promise
of things to come.

Against the night
the stars pale
in reverence
even their fire
a dim twinkle
hand maidens
surrounding their mistress.

It comes to me
that over time
if life allows
your name
in my heart
will be second
only to God's.

And so
sometimes
I cannot speak it
but I can whisper it
and lo
the thunder
wonder
mystery
passion
peace decending.

Do you listen
now
my lover?
