Axis Mundi

This axis mundi, rotates, within and outside the veils I remember walking with you and how we manifested anything we agreed upon leaving us both slackjawed and yet not completely surprised... you called me “My Heart”...because yours, you said... could no longer feel... So I felt for both of us I met you on the other side of the veils where we were once enjoined.... that is a crisp trip to release.. ... a burning ache You were thunder and I, feral... but we are imprisoned in time....... and this is not our time ...yet I feel you always within the veil.... because there we are two hearts sharing one soul... I remember speaking with your tongue, Hearing your whisper within an echo Of a voice that could shatter the sky Of any other world; The beauty of our resonance Created stars as the ancients Broke apart. And their light swam into eyes That told our story. Over, and over again; They channeled the percussion Of a singular, and yet harmonic Carapace. While we danced behind the veil. It was lifetimes, one incarnation after another before I found you.. the other half of Us... entwined inextricably as One... We are heart cells in the depth of the Creator.. In the corridors of time flesh is the individuation that has separated us. Hard to believe we chose this... and all we have forgotten.. yet I remember always.. that I am the design upon the fingerprint that is our essence and you are the flesh and bone of Us This separateness is the ache, I can only find solace within you and so I accept the emptiness of your absence only assuaged in the knowing that this hunger will be quenched on the other side of the veils... where there is no division On this side, within time and space...we walk alone.., “But with the power of epoch’s eclipse, This flesh will rot, and the boundaries Between us will break apart; The stars in our eyes will meet again.” “Our song, will be forever sung.” -Katherine Wyatt and James Kelley 2013, All rights reserved.
