I

I move like mercury 

bobbing lightly


just under
 
the surface 

of thought


I am the breeze 

that caresses 

the white-washed

linen curtain


whispering belief

that it can fly


I pacify the inevitable 

until it relents 

to the crack 

of a new dawn


I kiss time until 

the moments pass, 

and embrace still


I am the space

between the end 

and remembrance 

of what is


I linger softly 

just under 

the moons glow

 
watching


I amuse my maker 


as I taunt 

between 

love and hate


I am the breath 

of the awakening


just at the moment 

of revelation


radiant colors descend 

and soothe slowly


washing judgment 

into 

rainbows of purity


I am the whisper 
of hope

the promise of 
possibility

in the endless 
existence
of infinite space
