Jacaranda Moon
Jacaranda Moon
He had always been a wannabe hippie at heart
been crushed though by reason and unsolicited
fear while booze was no misguided answer no more
In defeat shattered retreat advance rehabilitation
Kai succumbed to steps into an unknown world
After praying to the Sun God of yogic proportions
the word love flowed out scripted in Jacaranda
petals in soil underneath the tree of life and a poet
tree in motion of change and growth they flowered yet
unknown and unfolded from scraps of bark and design
‘This is so funny’ a fellow struggler pointed out and in
‘there was a woman here some weeks ago’ a beautiful soul
who spelt the word love on the grass in same purple petals
One day adrift she appeared in now famous blue dress
and like an arrow and bee to the honey he
approached the stranger whom he must have known in
some previous life ‘You must be Tai and we have
something in common’ out of the very same blue which
adorned her beautiful body and beautiful mind
Against all odds they made even and love in heartfelt sense
and all senses drawn painted and joined on the hips ever since
‘If I could I would fetch you the moon on a spoon’ and spoons
scoop moons in the Universe which has become the
greatest gift ever bestowed for soul mates and lovers in hottest
pursuit of Sun Goddess showering violet dreams from above
In a flash in skin on skin and memories shared they
eloped together guided by the moon and its many meanings
Tai and Kai are flying 'Taikaiwe' together to the stars and beyond
on height and highs of love ‘Taibelle Mountain’
pushing and pulling rising and shining in serenity and passion
One day a couple of petals a present out of absolute nowhere
recast and transformed life’s story retold and reformed
shines lavender lilac union unimagined but real
