Love Poem: NOW

NOW

Now

The landscape stretches 
 Her range out beyond sight
While notably 
Visible along the horizon 
   to the left and right,

She moves on away 
Dancing 
Into the traveling dimensions 
      of time 
Toward realms
Where language has yet to be
Any more than merely humming —
  And 
Any signals, any gestures of need
Proceed from essence — unleashed —
Feelings
Fleeing being bound…

To attach
To Sounds’ quivering frequencies
Streaming along their escape routes 
— always forward, outward
Prime to crisscross the heavens… 

Passing over fears’ attempts to reign…

Now, arrows fly fleetly
Following
The dancing landscape
Toward some unknown end points
Where Love outlasts all.
