This amazing photo by and of my dear friend Mariya Andryichuk inspired me (in more ways than one. Yes, she is a gifted artist with a soul and a presence of thought that is quite moving, but I will admit she is remarkably lovely, as well...)
===========================================
A Prayer for Life and Love
Soul to dreams, dreams to thoughts and reveries
I cannot always explain in words and tricks of light.
A touch, a kiss, a prayer for life and love that sees
further than the withered sedge and edge of a night
never wasted, for it sustained me to this moment
that I might catch that spark of the divine in you,
a flicker of a soul so radiant it hides deep to prevent
those who are unworthy from reaching for it, a view
or echo of the essence of angels buried in the tapestry
where the casual observer may miss it, lost in tracing
only the patterns they can comprehend. Missing beauty,
real beauty, more than mere flesh that sends blood racing
with the acknowledgment that you are not just beautiful,
but a path into seven Heavens in a kiss of the spiritual.
