Poem
Your time worn hand rests on my shoulder A gentle firm touch Ancient fingers stretching awake And for that moment in time, I receive you My body marinates in your history, Delicacies, trauma, and wisdom I sense you riding within my soul Opening my heart to depths yet unknown I journey with you, gazing into the welcoming deep wells Of your onyx eyes, perceiving your scarred heart, Moments of passionate elation, struggle, challenge And renewed strength Lavender sound waves embrace light beams Trickling through a sleepy forest Riding pine boughs, dancing over fallen trees Alighting on limey velvet moss I walk silently enmeshed in your presence, Past eroded stones glistening on water’s edge The river guides us onward lapping at our feet Your cane finding purpose as your eyes begin to fail Upwards towards trails of tears etched into the salty terrain Your aged palms open to the sky Each crevice a time capsule of what once was Your footprints reveal your passage Your ashes absorbed by the earth Reveal new tendrils of growth Shadows of eagles and falcons intertwine Dancing on red rocks, leading me upward Kee-eee-ar Kee-eee-ar Gazing down at me the birds seek my movement As they mingle with my revelations Drawn by inspiration I climb through mist Which clings to my eyelashes Guiding me towards the top of the plateau I see you seated there embraced by delicious pink smoke Gazing out across the promising vastness I hear silken melodies arriving from distant shores Briny taste arriving in the air A valley of vision shadows and light shafts A shifting of purpose Musical notes ascend Sharps and flats, high notes, low bass A vibration so powerful Soft wind kisses my cheeks Whispers float as they arrive by the thousands Darkening the sky with hope’s desire The ancient bird tribes with their passengers Aloft on expanded featheriness Humanity The old, the sick, the broken, the ailing The cherished, the newborn The lovers, the forgotten ones The seeds of civilization and confrontation The ugliness and the bloodshed They arrive Silently hovering above the ground A truce, a peace A moment of unified breath is shared A stillness fills the air All eyes gaze outward acknowledging one another Humankind’s glances imprint themselves onto each soul The collective heart expands Tears are shed Wounds are healed Acceptance is given Tender touches are received Apologies are offered Laughs are shared Light rises from below A warm beckoning invitation A congregation of energy A pulsating beat that encapsulates us Gazing towards the radiance We witness fervent flames dancing enticingly Revealing her silhouette She who dances in fire She who illuminates She who cries and shares each of our breaths She who rises to bring unity Unshielded and engaged We hold nothing back Looking around it all becomes clear Ladybugs and hummingbirds join In circular flight riding the waves of our intention Compassion prevails Wings join Voices blend Moonlight caresses cheeks in a milky glow Stardust coats us as The circle of light is born
