You Were A Sincere Thought Made Real- For Ryan

I watch you sleep in the brilliance of
morning's light-
the blond in your hair
glistening in the sun.

I love the way you make a cup
of tea-
just the right shade of dark
sweetened perfectly.

I am captivated by the authenticity
of your honesty-
nothing speaks more deeply to my
soul's heart than your genuine-ness.

I whispered, "I love you", into the silence that
surrounded me-
no image preceded those oft repeated words
which were passed from my heart to the ear of God
to your heart.

I watch you sleep in the brilliance of
morning's light-
the blond in your hair
glistening in the sun.
