how old is a soul?

your unwavering stare dissects my heart
eyes concede, baring my repaired soul for your inspection
shamelessness at last
when I least expect comfort, your grace untangles my defenses
bearded smiles dissolve my fears


your patient ears draw crowds into the room
hugging, kissing, praying against your hairy chest
old and young find solace in your counsel
maturing a youthful spirit beyond your earthly years


innocence radiate from your palms
every creature crosses your path
drenched in generous blessings


your quiet confidence tests me
shy


jugling excuses yet secure in our unusual companionship
