Love of My Life

Love of My Life there have been days when I was close with colors blooming up around the footsteps of my gravel past since then more than I can count has spiraled out beyond the counted hours we have spent sunlight grows through the curving glass and sings a chorus of tomorrow a firm warm hug of empty arms around the hollow core where have I been too long waiting just to start love is not what we feel but what we do together this house of skin begins to fade at last the earth recalls her moist and pliant son I have no name to carve above no longer one as currents mix the flashing sounds a new and larger open space unfolds to wrap the frozen now loving children gifted with a hunger to forgive dance upon these stumbling words that fall so gracefully below savior blessed bodhisattva in this churning ocean let your fiery calm abide pull from me the twisted self indulgent melody leave me broken on the rocks so that we may again breathe as one the air within us
