Slow By Flower

Slow by Flower
 
I am here

You say
Teasing every breath
Into original
Continual
Perpetual 
you whisper out this 
Love
 
I am here
 
Here behind the day
Inside the night
Laying translucent in these configurations of 
Light
 
You are here
In a billion forms
Of the message of 
Love
Incapable of judgment
Unconditional 
 
Slow by flower
We grow
Slow by flower 
We understand
And in our faces 
You hold  perception
Embraced
 
For all your questions
Our choices remain
We walk through the halls of the traveler
And dance through the unexplained
 
My voice echoes daily
A susurration spoken to a thunderclap 
A single drop of rain 
Calling
I am talking

To you
 
What is it that you do not know ?
What is it that you do not perceive ?
Inside these constructs you have created
Everything is me
 
Slow by flower
Time in time breathes
Speaking a dawn
Where the seeds of your heart
Are seen
 
It will only take a moment
I am a moment of clarity

I am here

I am now

You say

I am sipping this wine

And writing these lines

To read them in return
 
If only

You

If only

If only
 
 
If only…………….
