Poem
Going inward
Receiving moments of grace
While time unfolds
Touching your heart with my breath
An expansion
Doorways to enter

Each gift revealed through my willingness
Vulnerability my partner
Coaxing me towards unimagined pleasure and pain

Letting my mind expand
Memories of days 
Exploring and discovering
Baiting my first hook
My Father’s deep voice guiding me

Watching his strong hands
Red wigglers in dirt
Alive in a styrofoam cup
We bait our hooks together 
Plunge our fishing poles into the pond

A silent communication
Connection shared
Anticipation
Sunlight dancing off the ripples
A moment I carry with me now
Always grateful for my 
Depth of consciousness

Inhaling, I travel through time
Naked, I make my way through
Beckoning aqua kissed waters
I look ahead and swim
Allowing sunrays to bathe my body in their warmth
Marbled hues sing out
Bubbles rise
Shadows and sunbeams in a lover’s embrace

I perform a weightless somersault
Smiling in delight as I catch glimpses
Of the watery kingdom encompassing me
Vowing to keep this sacred moment 
Alive in my soul forever

From behind a towering coral 
You appear
My royal rainbow Parrotfish
Who I have dreamed of
For an eternity

Come to me dear one
Show me your tapestry of glittering scales
Allow me to touch your soft skin
So I may delight in the magic
Of all that you are

Let us glide through the 
Nuanced waters of life
Let us experience all the shades
Of dark and light as one 
Fill our souls with laughter and love

Let’s ride these undulating tides with kindness
Touching the hearts of others
Joining hands with those in need
Creating an arena 
Where all will be heard

Swim with me now
Let’s journey forth 
Together my love
