An Ode for You

I know not what I see with my eyes
But my heart interprets without guile
The quiet whispers only my heart understands
Of moments ephemeral and yet profound
Heralded by the purity of your grace
Your presence revealed like a rising sun
Your glow, your beauty amplified by your imperfections
There! I’m lost without expectations

I know not the words that I say
But my soul feels without a doubt
A warmth — heartfelt, tangible, genuine
Fondness — deep, naive, childlike
Love — divine
Beyond the grasp of time,
Beyond the failings of sounds and sight

I know my world is blessed to have you
And like the rays of light in a hopeless darkness
You are a gift.
