Dancing.
I
Replace my worries
With passion.
I forget all but the music and my body moves without
Any other concern but a rhythm
Older than time.
For all of me loves every layer of every note,
Every beat.
If I were not able to dance I would die,
The weight of all I carry in me crushing
My very internal being.
I have to set those fierce ones physically free.
The ones that hang on so very tight
To my heart and skin,
That cannot be
Placed in ink or breath.
The dance becomes me
And I,
The dance.
Fearful of his own greatness,
He holds the gates within his heart
Shut,
Locked with disgrace.
Hiding his own gifts.
Afraid to be overcome by the flood
Of all that he is.
He is
Beyond thoughts of those
Who surround him.
They cannot place him in
Or out,
Up or down.
He is everyone
And
Everything.
He is more than a soul can dream.
If only he believed this enough;
He would realize he can breathe
Anywhere.
Any depth,
Any altitude.
He can breathe.
You are my deepest dream
Set free on a harvest moon.
I sang my song
And you came
Along at once.
You joined me,
Dancing in fields of blue.
You do not have to
Try
And be love.
Stand
And listen to the warrior heart in your chest.
Feel the power there.
You
Are
Love.
I got the news today
That a boy
I love
Died.
He never knew
I loved him.
It was the love of a young teenage
Girl
For a young teenage boy.
nevertheless love is love
His smile made
My heart jump
Out of my body.
A boy whose spark is burned in me.
No regrets here.
Just thankful to have
Been so near him
In this life.
To have felt his touch,
To have heard his laughter
And experience his
Soul.
Love always.
I cannot.
i cannot put into words
this,
tangled limbs.
love consumed.
absorbed.
reflected in your eyes
i see
our endless lives
spent
loving
one another.
The remedy for this
Illness
Is
Forgiveness
(love)
Not only of the living,
(and yourself)
But of ghosts long gone.
This is the passion that is in us,
You and i.
It is in our blood,
Our very being.
There is no
Choice
In the heart or mind
Nor the soul.
Through peace
And turmoil
There has been no choice.
We
Were.
We are.
We will be.
From before the before,
The now
And ever always
You and I.
And as the wind blows
And mountains fall
You and i
You and i
Stay unfaltering.
At first beat
My heart uttered your name.
You are the unspeakable verse
That overwhelms me,
Yet calms me.
That quickens my heart and my breath,
Yet
I breathe deeper than ever.
