Give in to the water
let it swallow you whole
may it wash all your cares
whisper to your soul
that the weight of the world
an illusion at best
the waves and swell
can hold you at rest
Some loves are like a sea salty touch chill to the skin blissful diving in on the fringe waves of grief crash upon disheveled shores tumbling in weeds flotsam and jetsam
Some loves are a range of mountains and hills traverse through blinding snow and wind sudden change dappled sun kisses closed eyes before hides behind peaks searching caves within
Some loves are like a cloud begging me - look up! enamored by the majesty of sky mirrored by our smiles and glances once dark and stormy sea takes on new beauty because of thee
You remind me of A younger self Uninhibited Open the door At your touch The bolt falters Windows to my soul Lit magnificent colours Upon grand entrance Into my world Take me back To a time when time Was unmeasured Lost in sublime Hours of hopeful truth Seamless rewriting Darning old memories Luminous awakenings Love heals all wounds

All the things I learned from you Prepared me to Meet someone new Somehow you saw my Future whereas I Stared at rear view Wondering when You'd follow through
Gaping wide mouth Where tree roots Would dig deep Holding still As wide limbs above Each to each Arms and feet Lungs of earth
Two years of weaving Words of healing For the colossal Wound from atom bomb Dropped without notice On my front lawn
Wandering hands and minds Kept still by tracing Rainbow threads Counting stitches Like memories Back and forth In the mind
Still a dream weaver Handing on silent wishes In thread form Head, hands, heart warmers Binding you to mine Renovating inside and out Trading old loves Possessions for new Regeneration of seasons Always changing Yet standing still
Old growth gums waving At your window Since before our kind Carved their history Over mother earth Tattooed seared Grazing land Will one day be swallowed By roots and leaves Once again
Count the stars of heaven
