I decide to get up.
My brain has been talking to me all night anyway.
It is very dark and I tiptoe
Trying to be quiet
But it is no use,
The old floors creak no matter how light my step.
The wind brings a comfort in its steady howl;
I am not alone after all in this darkness
In these early hours.
The sun does rise and
Deceive now.
Bringing light unwavering
There is no heat in her ascension;
She gifts it elsewhere til
Equinox once more.
A radiant beauty solitaire.
Those who meet you,
Their heartbeats now bigger.
You are so unaware
The
Gardens and orchards
That grow in your wake
Over time,
After you have passed through
My friend.
Unassuming.
So beautiful, you.
We climbed up
Out of the hole breathless and began
Rolling around on the
Ground giggling uncontrollably.
We dusted off our clothes and picked twigs out of each others hair.
Then
He took my hands, kissed my lips and started humming that song about being lost.
Holding on tighter
We
Glanced at one another once more
And
Dove right back in
To explore more uncharted territory.
I did linger in the mire of
Self defeating thoughts for
Most of my life,
I am learning to stand up for myself
To myself.
Our fingers touch without pause
And we begin the dance
Of giving and taking,
Joining.
Vanishing into orbit;
Twinkling now.
Honor each soul.
Release your grasp on who you think they should be and
Set yourself free.
Set them free.
And the ache is
Satiated
As
Eyes meet,
As
Soft and firm hearts
Join in the revival
Of those feelings;
Emotions believed lost.
Yearning;
Quiescence.
Desire.
Love does not have to make a lot of noise.
It is there in the knowing;
It is enough.
Yes
Miracles happen every moment.
People change.
Or
They don’t.
Always carry hope.
And I try not to hold my breath and sit
Immobile;
Stationary and stuck.
Keep living and loving.
Move out of limbo and the waiting.
Basking in the radiance of life
Moment by moment.
I am blooming regardless the
Light,
The soil,
The circumstance.
Heart over matter.
Soul sight
Flowing.
