penny for his thoughts
by Philippa JaneCountless hours of yellow divide
led me to witness the public
unlocking of his heart. I, in turn,
left behind the burden of my
heavy words at his feet (sins
confessed or divulged?), only to
plot my swift escape, in awe of
Balboa's treasured beacon.
But to receive a kiss from Faith
himself mere moments before my
flight! - to be touched by the
sneaker-clad, pinstriped crucifix of
a man, haloed by Sunday's promise.
Exposed to his shadow's warmth,
I knew then to entrust more than
a penny for his thoughts. 09/29/2003 Author's Note: Dedicated to one of my greatest inspirations.
