‘A golden evening; and we watched <br />the sun sink slowly below the horizon <br />like a golden dime <br />into a flaming jukebox’.. <br /> <br />well, yes and no… similes – <br />one thing likened to another – <br />are sacred food: gifts <br />that we give to one another’s mind <br />to lift it with a sudden joy; <br />expand it so that all the world <br />is made afresh, anew, and <br />full of wonder and of praise.. <br />a world whose unity becomes <br />in a moment, here and now, forever… <br /> <br />give a simile in words as if – like - <br />the most careful choice of gift of love <br />to the one you love the most: <br />to say, this is to show how much <br />I love the world in you; in You. <br /> <br />My eyes shine like your heart.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/s-i-m-i-l-e/
