Raindrops fall quiet-
Alone to become as one
An ocean begins
Raindrops fall quiet-
Alone to become as one
An ocean begins
You hid the
Stars
And said
They were gone
But you
Kept them
For yourself
All along.
In the world
In the universe
The moon
The sun
Every star
Every blade of grass
Every person
Through time
And experience.
Through darkness
Through bliss
Paths turning left
Paths turning right
Forks in the road.
Decisions
Exhaling
Inhaling
Looking back
Looking forward
Joy
Regret
Sleeping
Dreaming
Waking
Walking
Running
Crawling
Climbing
Soaring
And.
Here.
We.
Are.
Soft fingertips
Warm skin
Light breath tingles.
Sleepy eyes
And craving sighs
Where souls
Mingle.
I can only move forward
Or stand in stillness
For even
The slightest
Step
Back
Will surely
Be
The death
Of me.
On broken wings I fly.
On broken wings I fall.
On broken wings I cry,
Then I begin to crawl.
Nothing will ever stop me.
It may just slow me down.
Nothing can hold me back
Even down here
On the ground.
I feel my breath fading.
I wonder how I got so low.
I feel my soul cringing.
My heart begins to slow.
I lift my head,
I see it.
A glimmer under the door.
A light I would have never seen
If I had not been crawling on
The floor.
Sweet,
Wild
Love.
I have known you before.
I have seen your face.
I have felt your fear.
I have held your hand.
I have kissed your tears.
One day
I realized
If I slept too long
I would miss the moments
When the world was quiet.
I would miss
Beauty awakening
And
The first gentle caress of
Light in my world.
I would miss
The silent whisper of the day saying
“Here I am in all my glory just for you. Use me up until there is nothing left.”
All that you are,
Has always been.
Now it’s time
For you
To come alive
From within.
You who have
Been dreaming,
Sleeping to survive.
Arise
To greet life.
I have stood
At the
Mountain’s edge
And gazed into
Forever,
Wondering if I should
Take a step into the
Nothingness.
I have felt
The breath of
Angels
Brush my cheek
And remind me
That there is love
Even in the
Darkness.
