With Open Arms
Come to me my child
Rest your head in my lap
My hand strokes your wild curls
Feeling the dampness on your neck
Lamplight caresses your flushed cheeks
Shadows waltzing on the walls
You gaze at me with pools of wisdom
Infinite eyes that have lived lifetimes
Speaking silent words
You gift me with your knowledge
The fire in you burning bright
Bringing me back to my heartbeat
Which rises and falls in gratitude
With your presence
Come to me Mom
Rest your tired feet upon my lap
Let my eyes and heart envelop you
I will massage away weary time
Let me give you my touch
Gifting you energy as I receive yours
I look into your eyes surrounded with
Father Times’s crevices
Each line an active nuance
A roadmap of your journey here in space and time
A thumbprint of your joy and pain
Remembering sitting on the countertop
Cracking eggs in the bowl
Making cake together
Handing me the batter covered spoon so I could lick it
And me giving it back so you could lick it too
Come to me my love
I long to feel your touch
Cradle me in your arms so I can smell you
Touch my eyelids with your gentle breath
My fingertips awaken
I feel your forehead, your neck, your chest
My heart vibrates as I find your back
Covering it with sweet kisses
Come to me my friend
We have journeyed through darkness
We have waded through tar
We have risen from the depths of the darkest oceans
Sharing strength, inspiration, and resolution
Come to me shy one
Come to me stranger
Come to me wounded soul
Come to me frightened one
Come close dear animals
Fill me up with your breath and secrets
Let me dance with your essence
We are one intertwined soul united
I open my heart to you
Plants - germinate, flower and bloom
Release your seeds
To fly on the wind and the wings of falcons
Bringing new life to distant shores
Let us rise above the chatter
Rise up with me above the dense greyness
To sanctuaries in the sky
Arriving at cloud castles
Adorned with abundant neon moonbeam pillows
To jump on and roll in
Stardust silently falling
Like snowflakes kissing our noses
Velvet musical notes hover nearby
Our forms expand as we join as one
One light floating upward
A fuzzy pink radiant vibration
Our inhales and exhales merge
Wrapped in sacred unity we rise further
Heavenly fish swim by winking at us
Winged dolphins join in leaping over lavender cloudbanks
Starbursts and light bursts pulsate around us
As we dance together in laughter
