Kindly Hold Me

With beautiful lace so elegantly threaded
And the simple outline of an invisible stitch
We turned the maiden into more
***
With the careful glimmer of the diamond
A sparkle to neuter
To assemble
A breeze
A floating whisper
It will not fight the look
***
But it will on the cloth
That bent
And twirled
And outlined with invisible stitch
***
We whispered
To float
And a solo crinkle rushed us on
We slowed to cease
To admire
The sparkle agog in our eyes
Twinkle
And stir
***
With less image and more gaze
We judged not by skin and birth
But by our work
Our grace
And held her true
Not to rid her
But to love
***
So to care
And to caress
We spun the fruit
We spun the sparkle
And whispered
Floated
So she carried on
***
Less and more
Became the same
With elegant wings
Of lace and invisible stitch
The diamond so to sparkle
And a floating whisper
We held in our regret
And sighed with love
So we turned the maiden into her
