Love Poem: Dancing Cells

Dancing Cells

You come to me through breathing nuances of your soul
Pinpricks of laughter, tears, and excitement
Memories buried deep within
Trickles of blood
Moments of loss

My body warms
My heart expands
I am a conduit
To receive the gifts you bring

Dancing cells before my eyes
Seducing me with their movement
Our beings so blessed with 
Magic and purpose
We function, often without thought
To the complexity of the mechanisms within
That pump our hearts
Containing light years of wisdom

How precious life is
How fortunate we are 
To feel bliss, love, anger, and loss
We are capable of gazing into each other’s eyes
With compassion and acceptance
Able to feel the touch 
Of another’s lips on ours

Miracles happen before our eyes
We can grab a tendril, a tailfeather, 
A mane, or a hand 
And surf the wave to gratitude

Anticipation ignites within my soul
Understanding the delicate balance of nature
Encompassing man, woman, child, and animals
Brings welcome sweet tears to my eyes
To receive the offerings of compassion, kindness, and humility 
And sharing them with others brings joy

I am one 
We are one together
All of us making our way 
Through darkness and light
 
Fluttering monarch butterflies fill the air 
As we gather and rise upwards 
Riding the wings of the ancient bird tribes

Unspoken words fill the gauzy lavender sky
A pod of whales below guides us
Gentle giants leading us towards
Promise and new horizons
Ushered by the heartbeats of wonder within
