3 a.m. Leaps

by Melissa Panther

Those vast pools,
vibrant seas
longing
brushing eyelashes
across lips
flowing over with
emotions
they are not
met alone
not
untranslatable

come to my embrace
you will be
home here
or is it no
3 a.m. leaps of faith or
forgiveness
you can
love this
I am
ready
let your
guard down

Those last four lines are perfect, especially as a way to end this thing. A really fine piece of work.

I think some of my own best leaps of faith have come at 3 in the morning. Thanks for the well worded reminder Melissa.

How could there be any guard with this piece? After all, 3AM is the witching hour.
