CLAY

He smiles granting us an insurmountable joy that is unlike any we have ever known.
We explore for hours hoping to discover just one more upward curve, one more radiant beam.
He sings to our very souls as he delivers perfect tones that fill the empty spaces of our hearts.
We pursue his melodious path yielding to the angelic voice that soothes and excites us at the same time.
He teases and calls to us with sea green windows encircled by fringes of coppery butterfly wings.
We shudder and long to kiss away his tears should ever they tumble from their pools to the mouth below.
He brings us gentleness and warmth to envelop our spirits like furry, cinnamon-colored coverlets on a chilly evening.
We reach for his hand,
And wish with all our might that he will never leave us,
Never forsake us,
Never surrender to the lights and tinsels of stardom.
We breathe in deeply of him and only want for more.
