Toward the Light

Two Souls touch -
Fragments of memories,
A thousand petaled lotus unfolding

Its face to the Sun,
Roots embedded deep,
So deep in the murky waters below…

A twilight kiss and we are swimming
In those waters, soft silt rising up around us,
Petals closing in, a soft embrace of faith,

          Patience,

Trust,

A Knowing -
We will unfold, once again, toward the Light.

A Song of Ancients

 I sing to thee,
Wind through trees
Caressing you in your absence -
A ghost in the willow softly sighing,
A crane calling out across the marsh…
 
Revelation echoes, a glimpse,
This song of ancients,
A harp and lyre,
My voice a silent choir
Drifting quietly across the sea
 
Oh, how I sing to thee!
Earth, Wind, Fire, Water -
A shape-shifting melody.

Cosmic Breath of the Universe

 I feel you breathe,

Slowly in, slowly out

lingering caress against my skin -

We lie in the twilight,

bodies entwined close against the tracery, 

arched into one another so tightly even the shadows can’t separate us...

I align my breath to yours,

touching you with my heartbeat,

relaxed into your pulse -

we drift into our space,

A dark gentle place made sacred,

The cosmic breath of the Universe.

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.
