I watch and I breathe, taking you in
A study of line and shadow
Piercing darkness with light
To find hidden
The most vulnerable parts
That speak eloquently to my own
And which I choose to hold gently, delicately
Within my hands
My breath soft, quiet
This aching stillness
Just the beginning
:
*Written yesterday (6/9/18) as I enjoyed the solitude of a flight alone, my mind feverish with words.

Advancing moments steal hours
As memorable touch lingers in thought
A soft burn
That flickers
And flames
Darkness pervades
But light is caught
And kept
In the bend
Of his memory

It is a light sought
Seen at a distance
Reflecting off the Fresnel lens
Shining clearly
Illuminating
Corner to corner
East to West
North to South
Sharp and true
A beacon in a tempest
A brilliant warmth in a whisper
To lead me through shallow shoals
Away from rocks
And that which would decimate me
Into deep waters
And safety
In the unknown
The light I seek
Is within me

Come closer
Find me
Light having been leavened
Where darkness had abruptly fallen
A path cleared
On two fronts
.
Come closer
Find me
Upon the path this maze of words you’ve created
Has left me
Adorned with memories
Dressed with your signature
Formed with touchstones
You know I will recognise
.
Come closer
Find me
See my words
Hear my voice
Come closer
And touch me
In all the ways
That we know
That we’ve shared
That we adore

Her mind is like a mountain
One you are interested in scaling
Initially the climb seems easy
Straightforward with minimal difficulty
You see what you get
But as you get to know her
You realize
That this is no ordinary climb
There are challenges as you go higher
Things become more complex
There are layers where you did not expect them
But while the climb is not easy
It is worthwhile
Because when you reach the top
When you have taken the time
Listening and learning
The views are magnificent
And the air is untouched and pure
So breathe deeply of her
She’ll sink into your soul
And show you the beauty found
In her light
*This is a re blog from last year. Companion to my series of ‘She is’ posts.

“She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And love and thought and joy.”
~ William Wordsworth
The dark paradise
Of my thoughts
Where it is
Just us two
My light showing
The depth and breadth
Of your dark
And of all the subtle values
And tones within
That make it so beautiful
