38.  Jigsaw

 
You are an accidental angel
Caught in gold cathedral light,
Lily ringed holy candle glow
Painted in the silver sun glitter
On ocean waves,
Platinum sheet lightning
On unbreakable lakes.
 
You are magic,
Sawing my doubts in half
And halves again.
 
When you are
Inside me like this
Forgive me if I close my eyes
Against your luminous affection.
 
Just,
It worries me
To look at such a miracle
As lions watch
Behind serrated palm leaves
And crocodiles cruise
The billabong bottom
Puzzling to separate
The dreamer from the dream
