love is the water
that embraces the
bottom of the lake
the music we dance
to with every step; the
touch that soothes the
heart.
the presence that is
never absent; the
simultaneous pulse;
the mingled
breath.
the yes that lights
the dark; the hand that
starts the fire on
the skin; the dream
that crosses the border of
life and death & life
and death
indifferently.
the caring that’s
bigger than the earth; the
feeling that calms &
comforts the soul; that
welcomes life
into the
body.
each soul is
all souls, is
every soul, is the
livingforce swimming
through murky
death.
the soul floats into
the air & becomes the
sky of blue. as the sky turns
black, the soul hides in the
darkness of the sun
to rise with the light of
heaven’s
day.
at times, the soul, craves
starless sleep & empty
time. a universe
of snoozing
planets. a god
snoring inwardly. a deep
cold pond with dreams
trickling towards the
sea.
we inhabit this waking
dream of paradise
& use our hands
to toss blazing stars
into the void
burning holes in the fabric
of infinity
shaping unknown
constellations out of
invisible
time.
