daf Awoke to the sound
of drummers
gently playing
their random rhythms
on your rooftop
an announcement perhaps?
a drum roll presents
to a blessed world
your morning eyes?

I wished
for a moment then
that the ceiling would part
and fade away
be gone
that I might witness
here and there
tears of joy
the saints have offered up
to the divine and lovely
find your cheeks
and know their place

I hoped
the rain would fall
but under blue skies
and that you would
wake
to nature's beauty
a sacred reflection
of your own
that you might know
dear droplets fell
to meet your skin
as though the heavens
read my mind
and kissed your face.
