the deep moment


who knows the light 

that fills your eyes 

when through the trees 

by moon surprised


or how the lines

that grace your lips 

grow deeper as

each cup you sip


whose voice can wake

your sleeping soul 

or make you laugh 

without control 


who hears you when 

the day is done 

the ups and downs 

the race you’ve run 


the shallow steps 

you take each day 

add up to much 

deep in your way


who finds you there 

and holds you close 

content to be 

who loves you most
