Poem Title:
Poem
When I am one in two I hesitate To let my thoughts withdraw, For in the safety of that zone I trust my friend who hears my voice alone. She may not finish my unsaid words, Though sometimes she does, She may not understand where I was going, But she always faithfully tries. The art of being two is a garden, Where one hand sows, the other grows. When birth takes place in the womb of the earth, The hands fold together as one, Dignified with grace, Thankful for the blessing. A trace of the everlasting Seen in the unquestioned root Of how devotion A good life fulfills. In my heart there is a chamber I share with no more then one. There is but a single key, Whose power is to open a world Where a dolphin lies anchored To an unbound universe. Who is in possession of this key, Is responsible. To fear, flee and drop the chance to enter Is a choice the unworthy can make. To jump, To leap into that island room, Where seas, Stormy, serene, salty and fresh Blind the senses and reshape thoughts, Is to fall into an ocean where a great dolphin Lies in shackles. Time and action In slow motion Must move. The setting free of divine spirits an art Beholden Only to she The right one. She who enters this space, Where private thoughts wordlessly are spoken, Where flowers grow on the cusps of waves, Where faith is more then trying, Where roots grow from a seafloor miles below, Where stars in the sky whisper secrets, Laughing with affectionate wonder At the two below Whose only prison Is the freedom To say yes or no To a risky life Both bonded and unbounded, Is she whose nimble fingers will by love alone, Sink the chains and set the dolphin free. Oh so long has he waited for she his chosen one So long has he dreamt of the journey to come. Upon his back she wept and held, And into the open world they ever went And never ceased to be.
