Fearful.
Hesitant to open
Up
And
Touch this sorrow,
The grief.
This love untethered to earth
Now.
Where does it go.
I only hope you knew;
You know
How your calm in the storm
Enveloped us.
Your beautiful mind and heart;
Wisdom whispered
And heard when we silenced ourselves.
Listening.
Your heartbeat rhythm now
Missing from this family chorus.
An emptiness in between
Unspoken.
Love swells shared in teary
laughter.
Missing your presence
We reach for one another and find you.
Love remains.
Spring showers wash over her
And She rises,
Growing anew as if a
Spring flower reaching forth
Through raw earth to meet
Life;
Growth.
I struggle to steady my mind
And I cannot find the breath to
Say i am tired,
And I cannot find the strength to
Reach for you.
My walls so high and mighty.
My fear steals my bones.
I’ve heard them whisper about me
Then turn and
Smile at me in the reflection in the mirror.
I’ve seen them steal away and swallow
Anything they can put their fingers on.
Eat. Sleep.
Dream.
Oh yes indeed,
Human
Hearts are reaching out in little ways
Long
Before
They fall to their knees exhausted and desperate.
Look and see.
Listen and hear.
Observe with all your senses.
Love. Love. Love.
I can think of no other;
And even the little hairs on my body rejoice at the thought of you,
Reaching for you
As you come near.
The heat at my center spreads
And the words fail to fall from my lips;
They cannot make the connection from my mind to my heart
Crashing into one another
In the rush to embrace all of you.
All the particles of us disperse
As night and day disappear
Bursting forth at our touch.
Creation.
This glimmer,
A new universe
Beginning.
New elements we become.
Unprecedented.
I do not understand
Where it is you are
Reaching me.
Someplace
New,
Setting off a cataclysmic
Wave.
An eruption of thoughts
And
My synapses are firing steady
Filled with light and electric love.
Shaking cells flowing,
Skin tingling. Hair raising.
I feel your presence ,
Your direct approach
As you breech my perimeter.
Matter altering magic,
Eyes out of focus.
Senses magnified and restless as i smell
The charge in the the air.
I await your arrival in the veil.
A quantum kiss.
Out of mind and body.
Here, there,
Us
Dissolving to
Unify.
People.
Their wispy heart tendrils
Reaching,
Dancing as if upon
The wind
To
Connect
To one another.
So beautiful they extend.
Hoping.
All this love.
All this love.
I wonder if solitary trees
Ever get lonely.
I imagine their roots going great
Lengths beneath our feet to
Reach,
To touch
One
Another.
Sensing the need through
Distance and dreams to feel,
To entwine wholly.
I want to reach you.
To fall into you
And collapse in fevered cries.
Revel in
The sight of you.
But I will never beg
Your hands
Touch me.
I will never beg your lips meet mine
Or you arms surround me.
Dreams will have to do.
I will not.
I will not.
I will dream.
Retract your claws.
Release your grasp
On old hurts and regrets of the past.
Those
Wounds left open
And afflicted in you by others.
Wrongs done by you yourself as well.
Misunderstandings and assumptions
Creating resentment in your belly.
Release them into the stillness.
This is not a practice round but you already know that.
And you wonder why,
Oh why
Sweet misery still beds you.
Untie the binds that restrain you from
Reaching.
From touching.
From holding love to your heart.
Do not wait.
