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 13th February 2017

Loved this piece, Kai. Though I'm sure there are parts which elude me. Jacaranda....got me going to begin with. I've written on purple jacaranda blooms. That lovers met and consummated their love...I understand and applaud.
