Palms #3

Warm fog,
Throat and lungs.
Bandaged gauze,
Whisper tongues.

Veils white 
Cashew skin.
Fossil eyes
Lit within.

Moistened tresses,
Bated breath,
Cotton dresses,
Scared to death.

Aching rapture
Darkened tomb
Moment capture
Pray the womb

Recoil, Release.
Roll the stone.
The Golden Fleece
Heading home.

Light of morning
Blinding eye
Warming welcome
Say goodbye

Leave us wondering
Faithful cope
Lost and loving
Ray of hope

Palms together
Arms reach far
Psalms forever
Wherever
​You Are
