Rainbow Resonance

Outside the temple I built

For us

You wanted my embrace

And I wanted you

So we stood beneath

A cosmic canopy

Facing a place between

Chaos and conversation

We brought our hearts

On pink fluffy clouds

To hold and to breathe

A glowing orb between us

In those moments that lasted

You sighed

With a hum that blossomed

In rainbow resonance

Growing hope in the garden

Of safety

Signaling my body to relax

In the glimmer and shimmer

Of our auras entwined

As if we’d met there

Lifetimes before

Fox Medicine

In still air and changing light

While giving horses alfalfa

A snapping twig turned my eyes to

Feminine power, shape-shifting creativity

Revealing herself

From the forest across dried grass

Entering the corral through its broken-open gate

In high black boots and sleek red jacket

Bold, light steps obscured her behind a berm

I nervously circled behind the stalls

And waited beneath oaks for her next move

Cresting the threshold to follow my path

She reappeared

And sat facing me in the warmth before twilight

Like she arranged our appointment

We gazed at each other for so many breaths that

A new world opened

And she guided me

Into the space between realms
