Love Poem: Creature, As We Are

Written by: Anna Ruiz

Creature, As We Are

i belong to a race of people
yet to be discovered
unseen by the multitudes
i travel the inner highway
to the sanctuary of your soul
seldom reach my destination,
there's no where that's not here,
and here is a perspective that is always present

i long to touch you, open the secret that is you
to the rain that falls far from the wasteland
of your inner flame
your heart in the sky,
afire
with the leaves of Paradise.

your spirit encased in a seed yet to open,
wings already unfurling,
ancient in your art,
c
our mission is to love you.
