encapsulating
if i could paint a moment in time,
i’d take a clouded paintbrush.
dip bristles in beaming beauty,
caress your face carefully.
brush my hand gently
to paint the pinks of your cheeks,
the butterflied brightness of your eyes,
the honey of your smile.
the radiant wisps
falling against your skin.
