Beautiful Thing

Up late again and thinking about you,

all this time, I would have 

given anything to call you before and

then, heard your voice through the phone...

And now, I can, and do talk with you everyday,

my magic phone next to me;

so now you're next to me, and 

I wanted to call you tonight

I knew you wouldn't mind, but

I knew that you'd be sleeping,

so, know that bliss which escapes me...

and when you awake my words will be here

to greet your morning coffee:

he was up last night and missing me,

he sent me a poem or two 

because he was thinking of me,

he loves me...

he loves me...

he loves me...

and now, he knows I love him,

it's a beautiful thing.

All my love coming at you from

every medium, by every platform,

all my love to you,

over the wires,

and through the air, bouncing

off satellites and my

line of sight has you in it's focus...

all my love, 

and it's a beautiful thing.

 

Wasn't That Us?

So, I'm thinking of a past

that never happened...

the child on the playground, 

the pains of adolescence,

the exploration of adulthood, and

all the little things 

I try to let you know,

sharing my life as it was,

but looking at the Now and forever,

and I'm thinking you were there

with me in the great mystery,

wasn't that us? Weren't we there

in all of our longings?

Growing up together...

And as I pass this time 

until I can hold you here,

I can hold you here in my heart,

but one day soon, in my arms.

One day soon... 

all it took was everything,

and hope.

And even though that past didn't happen,

the present is all that matters, because 

Now is all we have, and it's everything.

She Sees Me

Waiting on someone to get me,

to understand the methods

behind the madness,

the reasons...

and then she, sees me

and I am new again.

revitalized and validated.

She knows me,

she sees me,

she loves me, and

I know and treasure it

as I love her back, because

I see her too, and just as I

am hers, she, is mine.

I Am With You

In the dead of the night,

I am with you...

I wondered about you

in the past, and now,

I know you,

I am with you...

as we pass the time

until I am with you;

the circle coming together

as our hearts beat as one.

I am with you,

the journey and the yearning 

coming together.

I dream of this moment

as did you, knowing

in our heart of hearts 

it would come true...

 

Beyond The End of Their Days

Once upon a time there was a trauma,

and it fractured two families and three people,

but then came the dragonslayer,

and the beast was defeated, and the warrior

was also a healer, and healed that trauma so

a happy ending was possible.

And they loved each other 

beyond the end of their days.

Happily ever after, into the cosmos

and beyond the veil and the Void,

into the realms of the currently unknown,

where Godhead smiles and everything 

is blessing and knowledge.

The two are one, and that one, 

merged with the Godhead, as Love 

returns unto Love, the Celestial,

smiling.

Mother, I Love You

Deep, deep down within,

bubbling up, and outward 

is my love for you 

expanding, from deep in my heart 

into my life I find I 

am holy sometimes...

My love touching neighbors 

and strangers alike, my love for you

overflowing out of me 

and touching lives of those 

I don't even know...

acts of kind words and empathy,

acts of Love in action;

the Love you had in yourself

that you gave to me

has become so much more,

mother I love you,

from deep in my heart

into my actions in motion

of my life, I am 

the continuation of your light

that light which was your Love to give

and has now returned unto you, for you,

rejoice with me in this Love.

Mother, I will always love you.

Into Your Arms

Swimming in the ethereal tonight,

thinking about how much 

I love you and why;

How do I love thee? 

Let me count the ways...

No longer in the Void, 

but somewhere in between,

yet somewhere better.

The universe calling us and 

drawing us in closer and closer,

a mother and child reunited 

after an age of hell endured

by both, yet both prevailed,

and so their light increased

brightly lighting the way

to the complete giving in to

the touch of my mother.

After 50 years,

for the first time in my life,

you hold me and I hold you;

the cosmic healing of our family line

you the source and me the end,

the bookend to the eternal,

the infinite, the transcendent.

I will kiss your face and 

call you mother and tell you to your face 

how much I love you,

how much I've missed you; and now, 

all that is behind us as I come home

skipping between the raindrops

into your arms.

No longer in the Void,

but set free to ascend now 

into the highest realms,

the place where only Love dwells

forever and ever.
