The Birth of Destiny

As dark and light merged, 
in the touch of fingers
a passover was made


this coupling foretold
that destiny, 
would be born


pushed from the cusp
of two worlds,
leaving halos and horns 
in a stillness, that ever
sighs of her departure


A single green blade 
freed the earth
stealing her first breath, 
as tips of flowers interlaced, 
it shimmered within her 
first dew kissed sleep


observed by immortals
(from both sides)


her fingers painted air, 
as feet ran its first steps 
creating winds through time,


gasps echoed the heavens 
(a gathering had watched) 
In awe


their desire 
had been to keep her,
sacrificing their love 
they gave this beauty 
a life, purpose


a smile 
at the end laughter
the comma 
in the birth of tears,
became a lighted hope 
that embers


all covet her


this galaxy of beauty 
born on the cusp,
passed us all today  
and walks among us


(immortals maintain their gaze)


and destiny? found me
as I write on her tail,


and touch the profound
