I will take you beyond the veil —
Where purple lupin lead the sacrament
And aspen leaves flicker in praise —
To speak with the clouds
Of the healing, skyward coil and
Silver stallion’s gleaming eyes
That are the portals which prove
You are ready
Ants, unlimited and active,
Are shooting stars
On a moonless night
Darting swiftly across the vast expanse
Without end or rest.
Eagles, attacked by blue jays,
Shake them by ascending
Thermal, hypoxic air
Between this spinning rock
And infinite dark.
I am the ant,
Digging and hauling
Building and seeking
Unaware of my cosmic counterpart.
I am the eagle,
At lower altitudes
Plagued by pecking and scratching
Transmitted through my psyche.
To know my stardust
And to meet it there —
Delivers me from these daggers
I grasp in fearful hands.
With our last kiss goodbye
I saw myself reflected in his eyes as
We promised to meet in our dreams.
Now,
He sings to me
While removing a mask
That purges toxic beliefs
And stale contracts
He dances with me
Overjoyed in his body and
Unafraid to bare his heart with
His generous smile close to mine
We rest together
I pull from my suitcase an incandescent sphere
Swirling with Venusian clouds, expanding
While I nestle in his protective arms
We talk on the phone
I say, “come to me, I’m on a floating, lush mountain surrounded by stars”
I think he will have to book a flight, but
He hurls a rope and begins to climb
Assisted by an angel who agrees
Our last kiss would not be goodbye.
His true Self
Is a prism in a cloudless sky
Its shadow — a rainbow gliding
Across glossy green leaves and crystalline dreams
Featherlight kisses alight on my cheeks
With a shimmering dust
Like butterfly wings
You blamed yourself
Your sweet, soft
Essence
For your suffering
Rather than those who mishandled you
So you banished it
Deep within defensive shadows
Locked behind a fear-proof door
Unknowingly
Caging currents of your
Lifeforce
Settling you into sticky
Half-truths and
Deluded satisficing but
I knew you before the disunion
So when you pulled me close
I recognized your radiance
Reaching to me through the cracks
Longing to be released
And held
In my sweet, soft
Safety
Delicate pink blossoms float
With creek bubbles
Passing beneath a stone arch bridge
Like fairies
Grazing between willow’s soft fingers
Lily pads and lotus flowers catch them downstream
I sit on the grass amongst thousands of petals
Holding open a book I’m meaning to read
Words on the page call to me gently
But all I can think of
Is you
You belong to untamed rivers,
Rippling from mountains
Out to the sea.
I belong to the one who flows with them,
Free yet connected,
His heart beats with 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
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
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
