Velvet

Standard

I kneel to

Feel this;

 Raw earth.

My tears

Of gratitude fall 

For the wilderness has

At no time failed to

Save

Me

From myself.

In her stone and softness,

Her life and decay.

Always replenishing.

Forever

Sharing

All that she has to give.

I have lived many lives in the wilderness.
On the velvet forest floor
I lie.

My eyes lift to the heavens

As she soothes my soul

And i know this;

All

Is now as it ever has been and will be;

As it should be.

Web

Standard

I was so

Mesmerized by the beautiful

Web you created,

The false delicacy

Bringing me in closer.

(I failed to notice you were a spider)

The way mornings birthlight sparkled like fine crystals on the dew,

The way

Your crafty design shown like a rainbow,

Kaleidoscopic.

(I knew you were a spider)

A comforting touch and hypnotic gaze.

A weaver so gifted and true to your desires.

I did not realize I had become immobile

And transfixed.

(I forgot you were a spider)

Forgotten 

Standard

I walk through

Aged and forgotten,

Off the beaten path

Graveyards.

Something about them has always drawn me.

I will follow the signs to some

Destination unfamiliar,

Down a worn unpaved detour to find them.

Often

An

Old caretaker will come find me, looking quite confused to have

Company,

And ask if i am searching

For a particular grave.

He simply wishes me well when i say no

And goes upon his way.

I am left to tread on my own

Among bones and birds,

Humming to myself

With

These people unknown to me.

Alone yet not alone

Relishing a beauty

Some find so frightening.

Shallow End

Standard

Multidimensional.

None of us are who we seem to be.

We walk around in the shallow end of 

Ourselves

Waiting for the tide to come in,

For the ocean itself 

To come to us.

Hesitant.

Unsure of our desires, our heartbeat, our 

thoughts.
When we should just run

And laugh and

Scream with joy as we

Leap,

As we

We rush in 

Overhead.

We are so much more.

So very much more.

Followed Me

Standard

I have seen the moon and the sun outside my 

Window.
The same moon and sun which  have followed 

Me since

My arrival.

Throughout my life on many continents,

They have been

In the same big sky 

Watching over me.

Sometimes they whisper,

“From here you look so beautiful,

So tiny.

Why do you continue to

Believe  your 

Problems are so big

And your beauty so small?”

Transcending Tranquility

Standard

Music pulsing

Dance floor vibrations

Nocturnal visions multiply

I am here because 

I am

Transcending tranquility 

Continual beats

Fast or slow

I go

Where i go

Primal flows of body, mind

And soul

To rhythms timeless

Unending motions cause

Undulation across oceans

Rippling 

Undoing realities set on sand

Hands touch

Lips brush

We

Us

Consummated 

Entity.
