Mind Dance
Mind Dance
I hear you calling me
I feel you on the wind
Playing with my hair
Grazing my cheek
With kiss’s shadow
Upon your distant shores
Perched on craggy rocks
Upon sunlit parched cliffs
I receive you
I feel the whispers
Of the past
I hear the moans
Of the lost ones
The forgotten ones
I am here
We are here
Know me
Know us....
For we have not departed
We reside in your heart
Gazing up I see the fuzzy silhouette
Of a man I once knew
Sitting in quiet contemplation
I recognize the tilt of the head
The steadfast gaze
The lonely heart calling out
Far below
Rugged shoreline
Sharp massive rock beacons
Cascading
Down ...down ...down
Disappearing
Becoming an erotic dance of mist and foam
Lovers entwined frolicking effortlessly
Their bodies of salt and sea intuiting one another
Mesmerizing me with their sacred union
High above royal seabirds
Appear from their cave dwellings
Diving down in unison
To join the lover’s dance
Their bodies
Shining...sleek...untouchable
Plunging full force into
Undulating clouds of churning sea
Seeking food
Creatures of land and sea...
Let me fly with you
My nose is filled with cold briny air
My eyelashes kissed with saline tears
Taking me back to that moment
Dry tall yellow grasses brush against you
Your belly hot... hungry
Making your way through pulsating relentless heat
Your dry breath
Your focus
Your precision
Your hunger
I smell the hunt
The fight
The kill
Watching you conquer your prey
Providing for your pride
With eyes closed
I see all of you
Oh gracious God of
Light and beauty
You come to me in my dreams
Allowing me to be
A humble witness to a
All you have created
I hear distant water gliding
Over weathered stones
Natures Music
I hear the cawing of the seabirds
Rising up
Growing fuller
One voice together
I feel the cheekbones of my ancient ancestor
Gently touching closed eyes
Feeling the wrinkles of skin
Her soul revealed
Each scar, wound,
Sunrise
Kiss and tear
Holding her hand is my gift.
We walk through transparent sheets of
Turquoise rain
Smelling the mossy green growth beneath our feet
High above where monkeys roam
We hear the welcome drops
Pelting the hand shaped leaves
Falling through the greenery
Finding their way to our smiles
A forever embrace
As we become one
My heart expands
