Seeking

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

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

Interrupting the Melancholy of Absence

Interrupting the melancholy of absence

I dreamed we were sitting

In the backseat of a Mayan taxi

Cobblestone drifting below

Red, orange, and pink patterns

Fluttering strands

Between us and the sun

I couldn’t help myself

Blissed by presence

I stroked your foot with mine

Cuddled my face into your neck

You said, “I am a pool of water”

And I knew exactly what you meant
