I cradled me and looked after my being
 remembered Bible stories
 Jesus healing sick souls
 once mine.
 
 I was so tempted
 felt emotions that hummed.
 I wanted to taste the moment
 smell the scent
 smother the lion in all who pursued me.
 
 I touched the moon, 
 and then I slept there.
 I thought I heard you singing.
 It was way past midnight,
 but I still decided to wait,
 grant you entrance into my images of rain
 and memories of  storms. 
 
 I searched for a compass held inside my pocket,
 that's where I keep my treasures.
 I pulled out reams of paper first
 poetry carefully written
 and there
 between the folds 
 tightly clad
 my compass
 my moral measuring tool.
 I held it to the light 
 yet
 could not decipher the rainbows
 nor the thunder.
 
 Tiny angels sing
 I heard them in the colors
 I held one in my hand as she was weeping.
 
 I am that golden child she breathed
 I am the smoke beyond the river
 I am the token of the dragon
 the dew
 and the lace
 that lines the trees
 I am the unspoken poem.
 
 Grace
 I hold its measures 
 set music to my dancing
 I am the figure that makes a shadow
 behind a blinded curtain.
 
 Beyond this day
 and far off into the distance
 I think I see her treasure.
 I released her
 set her on her way to finding answers 
 and moons to sleep on.
 
 I thought all
 wrote about it
 then picked up my pencils and left.
 
 I cradled me and looked after my being
 remembered Bible stories
 Jesus healing sick souls
 once mine.
