Vanilla Clouds by Rhodora M FitzgeraldThe room was all aglow
in shimmering candlelight.
The sweet fragrance of vanilla,
the senses did incite.
Swiftly, I was enveloped
in the scent of pure delight,
as the moment ceased my being
provoking my heartbeat to excite.
For a moment I was breathless
as I let my thoughts ignite.
In awe, I stood and waited
for all my senses to reunite.
I felt the dreamy softness
of what would be a heavenly night.
And soon I would discover that
Vanilla clouds are silkier
than those of fluffy white.
I found that my soul would be lifted
to reach a rejuvenated height,
as I let my spirit soar
on the wings of a freedom flight.
Like rose petals on a pillow,
and whispers in the night...
I softly drifted to a place
of beautiful insight.
And this is what I learned
about love and life tonight...
That only those with hearts entwined
can view this heavenly sight.
And only one in love
can walk vanilla clouds at night. 12/21/2001 Posted on 12/21/2001 Copyright © 2024 Rhodora M Fitzgerald
