Daylight’s Door
Love her for the sheets layered beneath bedding
The cool soft embrace of enveloping grace beyond the tired hours
Love her for ship’s anchor placed deeply into ocean floor
The cause to stop and rest upon the open sea of daybreak
Love her for the tether ball wrapped round glistening pole
The rapture of glee clinging to foundation
Love her for the willow leaves kissing summer’s sweet grass
The place where two meet in shades of green
Love her for the marionette’s favorite dance
The delicate movement of imagination into life
Love her for the energy of a star burning last light
The hopeful eyes unyielding, shining through darkness
Love her for the bear-scratched trees of evergreen
The stronghold for sharpening needs and aches
Love her for the grape pressed and harvested for taste
The flavor of passion savored and swallowed
Love her for the fresh river waters rounding bend
The parched lips and weary soles baptized in purity
Love her for the garment held close to one’s side
The warmth ever waiting to cover the flesh
Love her for the flower opening at dawn
The beauty unfolding within beckoning light
Love her for the stairway that spirals and leads
The steps climbing upward in vantage point and view
Love her for the mirror kept broken on wall
The fragments of reflection leading to pause
Love her for breadcrumbs sprinkled upon forested path
The songbirds’ feast and the lost man’s rescue
Love her for rain showers cleansing the earth
The dancers reprieve from longings’ drought
Love her for the words she scribes upon heart
The awakened answers to long beating desire
Love her for the knocking upon daylight’s door
The threshold through wonder and love evermore

Whimsical and free I felt like I was floating as I read each line. It’s a sweet feeling of softness and delicate adoration. Beautiful! So many lovelies to quote here and share the emotion they stirred.
This one popped out though, “Love her for the willow leaves kissing summer’s sweet grass” it reminded me of my willow poem that I thought you may enjoy.
