Cloud Break


When you remember someone special.
____________________________________


It starts at the fingers
A sudden, welcome warmth
Reminding you of spring days 
Under the green grass and yellow wheat

The warmth spreads to the arms 
As the sky opens 
And god’s eye radiates through her iris
Looking over the fields of hay and fire


Soon warmth moves into your chest
Creating a quickening of heart and breath
And the clouds dissipate in her radiance
Giving life to long thought dead flowers 

The warmth spreads faster through the whole body
With every smile, every wink, and every word
The field of long dormant seeds burst forth 
New life eager to reach toward blue horizons

She brought life back to the dead field of my heart 
She brought sun to the cold tundra

She made the clouds break 
How lucky for us all.
