Celebration

The day I found you I was in disbelief,

it had been so long, the journey lonely,

the difficulties many, the treachery deep.

But I found you anyway,

like an echo I came back to you,

but different, and changed...

no longer innocent, no longer a babe, but

cast into the world with apple eyes,

led to believe that anything was possible,

so I believed because I had no other choice.

And I travelled that long road,

and many times despaired at the emptiness,

the Devil mocking me at every step,

laughing in my face to the dilemmas presented,

but I endured, for if I can just survive this...

then surely the road would lead me back to you,

it's only true in fairy tales; but this was life,

and I've used every sort of resource to find you,

if I could, track you, then bring myself to you

and wondered at the possibilities again.

I was in disbelief, but I persisted, my hope, grown,

the victory, sweet, and not a moment too soon.

Would I hold you, would I kiss you, 

would we cry about the dreary night 

that had finally dawned? 

Tears of joy, of celebration...

breathing that sigh of relief that we are together again,

mother and child, (who is no longer a child)

for the road was long, but I travelled 

and in victory, I found you,

I will celebrate you for the rest of my life

for finding you, has completed me.

 

 

Searching

They took me from you,

out into the darkness of the Void

I was cast alone, chosen in the ether

to be food for the rich and powerful,

but I have a will of my own...

and all I knew was 

I had to get back to you.

The world was my enemy,

everywhere I looked 

I saw them watching me,

a wall of eyes that followed me...

silent and present, but never helping...

voices that were disconnected,

the murmuring, a continuum of the eyes...

paranoia everywhere...

you get used to living under surveillance,

sometimes...

but then, the thoughts of you in my mind

maybe the eyes were me, 

symbolic, and searching, looking for you

in every dark crack in the Universe...

they were looking to complete me,

not out of affection, but for order and 

the righteousness of Love.

Maybe, they were just waiting

to see what I would do,

what I was capable of in this journey.

And I pause and think of you,

how they ripped me from you

before you could say anything,

lost and alone on your own,

left to pretend that I did not exist,

left to pretend that you were still whole...

but I was searching;

I was getting back to you

if I had to burn down the entire village;

and sometimes I did.

And they continued to watch me,

I can feel them always,

I can hear them always,

but they don't have much left to say

anymore because I found you 

and struck them dumb, the voices,

now a murmuring, a quiet background 

noise like rain

not friendly, but familiar, and now,

defeated, 

if ever present.

 

Tenderness

Deep in this heart, I am filled with you,

the love in me overflowing in a joy

I fail to describe,

but is there nonetheless.

I am a child of the Universe,

the Star King,

and the Universe was built in Love,

therefore we are built in Love...

if we but acknowledge our tenderness

for each other within ourselves.

We can heal this world.

But I digress...we have acknowledged,

and bravely jumped, into the tenderness

and out of darkness

to find the eternal embrace was still

with us despite, the foils and foibles, 

despite the outrageous misadventures; 

we are now a part of an unfolding adventure

in Love...made complete 

with each other, the very thing 

we had been missing in our lives;

each other, but

I reached out and caught something 

as I fell, and that something was us,

and now everything has changed,

my heart softened and tendered 

despite the scars the world gave to me,

I still believe, especially more so now

we are together, I believe in Love,

and move through Time 

in tenderness.

 

Remain

If you slip, I will catch you,

If you fall, I will fly to you to save you,

I will pick you up...

If I can make you smile, I will try,

If I can make you laugh,

then I will be smiling...

Do you know how much? 

Can you feel how deeply?

If everything else changes,

we will remain.

And this comforts me, so 

let it comfort you as well.

I was flying when I 

reached out and grabbed your hand,

come with me into the sky,

soaring all the way to Infinity,

and even at the End of Things, 

we will remain;

for we are the same spirit,

which does not pass away.

Plummet

For fifty years a free fall...

awash in an ocean of some

emotional insanity; doomed, 

to plummet endlessly,

spinning and falling, dying alone.

But before I hit the ground,

an updraft, wind under my wings,

and ascension into that 

which is peaceful and comforting,

soothing and reassuring me:

you are no longer alone,

you were never alone,

for I was always in you,

in your very blood, and I know 

this is true, for why else

would I have kept going 

if not to find you?

My blood, a map, a compass 

leading me finally, into your arms, 

a cocoon, like the womb you

formed me in...

our hearts beat together from

the most intimate experience

of conception, growth and birth,

torn apart, but now found together

as it was in the beginning, one, 

is a part of the other, that if you fall

I will catch you, for there is me 

and there is you, and we 

are halves of the same essence 

now completed...

Today is a Good Day

Today is all there is,

and today I celebrate having you,

so I turn to you and say,

"Today is going to be 

a great day for you!"

Because that's what I want for you...

Wake up and find me there 

waiting for you to find me...

and I'm here, waiting on you 

just to tell you again 

that I love you, as I will,

over and over again

until we transcend into 

Love Itself.

Awake and find yourself at peace,

we will ascend into realms 

way above all those who tried

to keep us frustrated, and failed,

victorious, remember we share 

the same heart, we share the same 

thoughts in our minds, a togetherness

I have never known, not since the womb,

but am grateful for now 

that I can touch you again.

 

The Impossible

 Deep into the night and I’m thinking about you 

Hopefully you feel better; and I’m thinking

Of the impossible that has brought me to you

Finally. 

I’m listening to the sounds 

of the darker side of the moon

And I reflect on the completed mission 

To find you and have an us.

I wanted you so much, my motivation 

Drove me onward through the famines of my life,

And I found you, after so much emptiness 

The return of the love stolen from us put back.

Driven, and rewarded with success we celebrate 

For the rest of our lives, the overcoming of the impossible.

Deep into the night and I’m thinking about you,

I love you.
