Travelling Light
At nowhere’s edge they searched the warm tender horizon
Knew it would always be there and turned back their gaze
Rain bowed in radiant sun light under a moon’s silent watch
Their river flowed in rapid cascades and still reservoir’s tiding
And they gathered infinite love and climbed falling waters
Floated on compassion and showered nascent togetherness
Their boundless souls moved sorrows and ice crusted pain
Yet the thaw delivered safe passage and unperturbed joy
Gathering drift wood and kindness they bobbed up an down
Breathless at times from moving the raft to a delta of passion
They shed their clothes and draped sails to promised oceans
Never forgot to give serene thanks to their heavenly fortune
When night settled they cuddled a fire on beaches’s embrace
Nourished and sated desire to the sound of flickering ember
Adorned a mangrove of salvation with gratitude and spells
Caressed salty skin as well as dew drops in unequivocal hope
That stars and comets would give them blessing and compass
When dawn called for renewal they kissed and started again
