to bless delight






May inspiration
become a gentle breeze
of delight for the skin,
a savory flavor of
delights for the tongue,
an invigorating vitality
of delight within the
body.

May delight arrive
as the surprise of the
day. The wonder that
attracts the eye, bringing
pause to gaze and thought,
delighting the moment of rest
and reason.

May hearing delight in
the cacophony of nature.
The cry of bog's peeper,
rustling in the pines,
thunder's responsive
reading of nature's liturgy,

tin roof's rain palinking,
brook's babbling bubbling
laughter after storm,
all delight the heart
through sound.

May delight overshadow
fear's light casting it
into the abyss from
which fear shall not return.

Perfect. Simply perfect, especially after the "storm". I enjoyed all the imagery and metaphors in this one.
