He Walks in Wonder

by Marcia Tucker


He walks in wonder
An angel-being captured into the night
A sunbeam forever preserved
And I, illuminated by his Light
yet shadowed in my Dark, 
ache for the kindling of his eyes
The silken benison of his touch
And all of it willing.
He walks in delight
Of all that is and can be
Except for me.
