As I stood in quiet contemplation,
feeling the gentle breeze blow,
listening to the birds sing forth the light,
I watched the sun slowly rise.
Stretching my gaze beyond the horizon,
the liminal place between heaven and earth,
where night meets the dawn,
and day meets the night,
between the one dimensional and two,
the reality of what we can see,
yet we can not touch,
I couldn't help but think
of You.
The blazing fire star,
slowly ascending ever higher,
reveals a sacred sky of the most amazing blue.
The illuminated earth,
the voluptuous woman that She's become,
seductively exposes
a flowery dress She wears over
her landscape of endless contours
and curves,
a kaleidoscope of colors and textures.
I was caught in this moment of utter beauty
with the realization
with the realization
that in a blink of an eye
I could have easily missed.
And there I stood,
wishing I could have shared this moment
with You.
I close my eyes and inhale deeply the crisp morning air,
letting the rays of golden color caress my face.
I give thanks for the energy that sustains me,
and nourishes the world.
Exhaling,
I feel my heart beat and fill with the joy and bliss
that only this passion can bring.
Love of Life,
Love of Love
and the Love,
of You
I open my eyes and look again where the horizon was
only moments before
That distant place that doesn't seem to exist at all
and to have never been.
and to have never been.
Yet,
beyond that magical place where night kisses the day
Is where you are,
and where I long to be.
With you.
The sun continues to climb the sky,
higher and higher,
shining down on this side of the world
where I am in this moment.
I am filled with a deep inner knowing
that every day,
every moment,
every interaction,
indirect and direct ,
by way of secret code and metaphor,
through poetry and song,
takes me beyond the limits of the magical realm,
and one step closer
to You.
I bow with respect to the sun,
Kissing my fingers,
I kneel and touch the earth with reverence
and deepest gratitude.
My heart flutters,
my mind swirls
and my senses reel,
I am thankful.
I turn and walk away with a blissful heart
knowing my day will never turn to night
because it's impossible to walk in darkness
when I carry inside my heart,
the love,
of You.
