The dogs are barking,
The rabbit came back,
And the fox is on the run.
The sentry caws from his post
On high
Until the shaking of the branches
Launches him into flight.
The cacophony of unrest reverberates
In my eyes and ears and has
Awakened both feather and fur
As the clouds wrap the night in its mist.
My toes tap tap tap
To the drip plip drip
Of the raindrops from the spout in the garden.
Am I dancing with an angel or the devil
In disguise?
The exquisite beating of my heart
Aches with love and devotion
Ever since I laid eyes on you.
The mid-night is velvet and its
Moon nestled like a pearl in a bed of starry lace.
In grace, you absolve me and finally forgiven,
I lay my hand in yours and I rest my
soul in the solace of your faith.
