Seeking

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ 2 Comments

Seeking my bear

I found cobalt dragonflies

Lounging on blades of grass;

Water gleaming, cradling boulders;

Knotted roots anchoring pines.

Two osprey circled the mountain air.

They crisscrossed,

And I felt you

Standing next to me

As if we would hold a secret

Of a dive into the alpine lake,

Returning to the sky with a fish.

Then, we would catch a kiss and a bear hug

Beside the shore.

Speak to Me

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

You are beyond words

Beyond definition

Known by a thousand names

You are

The unnamable one

How am I charmed

To feel our connection

Speak to you through my center

My guides

Your responses evade

My comprehension

I do not always hear

Or accept

Your soft, still voice

But please,

Speak to me

In a way I can understand

Sprinkle my dreams with your visions

Help me move beyond words

Beliefs

Keeping me in cycles

Separate from your touch

I Have Arrived

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

I have arrived —

With you gazing at me

The way you do —

To a place of absolute peace

Absolute freedom

Knowing that

All the pieces of my past

That hurt, that healed,

That sent me in roundabout directions,

Make perfect sense

Because every moment existed

For me to arrive and experience

This look upon your face

Rainbows

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

Pouring through my window

Casting rainbows across my room

Plants have long awakened

Petals expanding into bloom

In the brightness and warmth

Colors dance across my face

Memories of steps with you

Our arms linked perfectly in place

With feet kissing the earth

A rhythm for our hearts to follow

Moving us deeper into our embrace

Erasing all doubts and sorrow

Sing

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

Covered in thick metallic plates

A shield against feeling

Anything —

Not even the persistent howl

For agency

For desires you decided had to die —

Knowing that cry within myself

I sensed it

Or maybe I saw it in an amulet

When I brought you to natural, warm waters

Sheltered between lilacs and willows

We submerged our bodies in the crystal reverie

And I called that voice forward

Breathing life into dormant dreams

Now,

Will you put down your arms

And listen to him sing?

I Drift Away

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

All the times I drift away

Carried by the waters of my mind

To the ballad of our kinship

The felt-sense of your comfort

Guiding me away from —

The reality

That I cannot stretch far enough

To graze your face with my palms —

So I return here

I return and return

To my affection turning and tuning

Expanding beyond the boundaries

Of your absence
