In our nearness
We lost our breath and
Our balance;
We remain
Teetering on the
Brink of madness.
This heat,
This passion outshines
Even the stars.
Nameless;
Endless
We;
Breath of life burning.

Vast
The galaxy is always reminding me that life is bigger; so vast.
I choose to be conscious,
In each moment I hear the galaxy breathe.
I watched the falling stars rain down tonight and I am grateful for each breath that fills my lungs as well;
Such a song.

Sea Level
Is the ocean deep,
The sky so vast.;
The further one goes either direction from
Sea level,
The harder it is to breathe .
The sky goes on and on,
The ocean waves.
If I dive to the bottom of the ocean I get sand in my mouth,
If I propel myself into the sky I swallow stars.

Blank
And her mind,
It goes blank
Before you can blink.
She is smiling
All the while hating herself.
And they keep talking
And talking
And she keeps laughing.
And she excuses herself to the bathroom
Where
She stares in the mirror
Wondering if she is really here.
Why all this noise?
Just noise
Coming from mouths who don’t care
What a heart beat is.
This air;
The air that leaves her lungs
As she whispers your name,
As you press against her
And hold her steady.
As you take her where she needs to go
Without hesitation.
We sit in the quiet and
Hear the stars resonate
In our very bones.
It’s all ok.
Breathe in unison.
You don’t even need to say
It is all okay.

Aloud
Mountain summer night.
Watching the stars wink in and out of sight.
The breeze
Brushes a wisp
Of my hair into my mouth
And I throw my head back
Laughing aloud
At the illusions.

Brilliance True
Hello Milky Way.
I have been longing to see you again.
These city lights,
They block your luminosity
And leave me stumbling to find my way.
I struggle to find direction
Without stars to guide me.
Artificial radiance shines bright like a beacon
Until you get close enough to
Realize their lack of heat within.
I close my eyes and begin again,
Having faith in my own intuition.
I know the truth.
We know the truth.
The stars are ever steady
With brilliance true.

Campfire and Stars
Caught between gazing at
Campfire
And stars.
Mesmerized.
Coyotes out in the beyond,
Their chorus echoing
In this
Clear night air.
The moon is hiding her glow behind
The mountain.
Neither here nor there;
I am most certainly under a spell.

In Between
You are the moon
And the the stars and
The air in between that touches me,
That fills me and empties me;
The gravity and the lack thereof,
Everywhere
And all the time.
Pulling me, freeing me.
My lungs, my heart, my mind and skin
Crave and weep.
Bliss. Rhapsody.
I want more.

Home
My home stars keep calling my name.
Traveling the speed of light through cosmic storms
I visit them in my dreams.
I am merely a newborn awakening to wonders and strife. How cold the air on my skin, how the sun stings my eyes.
My mind gets earth drenched; fatigued translating language from there to here.
Most often I do not make sense when I speak though it sounds right in my head.
So much gets lost between soul and mind
As I try to enunciate and pronounce this love of all.
My heart beat fills my veins with a stirring and my lungs breathe an endless breath.
I watch and I smile feeling love flow through me; i am and never was empty for this
Is infinite and continuous.
Few see that all is translated in the stillness, that it Is always love, as we call it.
For it truly is more than love and that is why so many continue to try and define it.
It is more than a flat word or a mere voice and that is why we struggle so; to capture and constrain this cannot be done. It will not fit in a container.
There is no human word to encompass love.
And so the writers write and the singers sing.
The dancers dance and the dreamers dream.
Every one of us ponder
On and on and on
Of love.

Last Time
Black off the shoulder dress,
Patterned with little pink flowers.
My skin
Tan and sand brushed.
Last time I wore it was in Egypt.
A beautiful night, it was.
Clear and star filled.
I feel everything all at once when I look at.
Barefeet continued
Dancing long after they hurt.
Laughed and smiled so much;
People thought I was drunk.
It has a hole in it I never fixed,
I kept it anyway.
So there it hangs with a variety of other
Colorful memories.
Time to sew it up or let it go.
