To Breathe in Deeply

 To Breathe in Deeply

There’s a space inside of me,
A wide open space, a meadow of calmness,
Mixed sweet field full of birdsong and laughter -
You are there beside me, the mystery of you,
This connection,
Flowing, gentle river a smile quenching my thirst,
Gliding over me - rays of sunlight against my skin.
 
I’ve known you before forever,
Not always seeing all there was to see, blind to this space,
Not ready for the joy of the field -
Guided to the stormy sea, rocked by waves, torrential rains,
Urged on, eager to test myself against the storm,
My heart beating for release,
Eyes closed tightly, turned inward.
 
But now, now I open my eyes,
I see…oh, how much there is to see, to feel,
To breathe in deeply -
Life.
I ascend to meet you in the meadow,
Sweet song a melody against our lips, shadows sway
As I lie against you, the river wrapping about us,
 
Your smile lighting our space from within.

Blue Lotus - updated

I come to you
As I always do, slip into the temple
Where we first kissed;
Our secret space still breathes,
The energy alive, vibrant with our hunger
Pulsating Blue Lotus -
Yes, I am yours.

Left with the memories
Of Blue on Red,
Upper and Lower,
We merge, galaxy within galaxy -
You, the river carving new pathways,
I, the bank capturing your waters,
Still wild, still contained

And I come to you, as I always do,
I slip into our temple,
Our Sacred place,
Still alive, Silent yet vibrating,
You are there, yes, you are always there,
Waiting…
Pulsating Blue Lotus -

I am still yours.
