For the greatest friends a poet could EVER wish for. Blessings and Peace and Much Respect and Love...... Tano ________________ Psalm For Girl With Splendour Stanley Gemmell Lift oh my heart, a voice with purest praise Unto light, from a vast darkly maze No stain upon the white teeth of Hope No stain upon the Earth where my hands grope And strain to touch your perfect face Girl amazed and blessed with grace Hail the heart and the light and the voice Sailing ships of your hands, your choice To stay To stay To touch the alone and broken soul with your laughter The rainbow To touch the most frail and half heard word of the Widowed Father Who has also lost his daughter and his lands and his laughter Touch Him with your laughter Touch Him with your laughter For he has also lost His Son.. His only Son who heard his Mother's footfalls like rain And touched her face while she slept inside the enchantment Of her youth While she washed where ocean waves song and fruitful foamed Another elegant rhythm where nothing falls nor leaf nor eyes Nor purple tears.. Girl, spend your lifetime like the flower, fragile, unafraid. The Word bears life from world to world, and it is your gift. The folly of the blood rock stone, with no prtal, is far from you. The faulty logic of the impoverished Kings whose tributes have dwindled, Is cause for your increase, in beauty and love and mercy. Girl, sing the psalm to yourself, for The Poet has lent you His tongue, and it is useless to Him, now. Girl, America of the heart, do not close the gates Of your eyes against the traveler, for he bears You gifts of gold and incense and myrrh. Girl, song of the eyes of the cat whose love Is dark-ness, dark-ness, raise your moonlit face To the East, wherefrom the riddle approaches. Girl, another day spent in perfect splendor w/ The glory of your gaze, which sweeps pale Drumbeats across the ice capped and distant mtns, Is another breath for The Mother of Life, who dreams Within your voice of crystal, green leaves.. _____ ________ January 28, 2003 Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA For C.P. ____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB of email storage with Lycos Mail Plus!
