The Spark of Life

you are the golden
seed of destiny; the creative mind
in motion
oozing light
riding the waves of change
as the flawless billabong morphs
into the silver sea

there’s a hidden treasure
in your soul
along with moments
of loneliness
of longing
of joy, passion
and beauty sublime

you fuel my hunger
with your
divine fragrance of desire,
a certain spark
that comes
to life
in the defining moment
