How Love Grows
Updated: Jul 5
I was asleep.
Light was just a distant memory
Lost in the dust of time.
Dream walking,
I found my way to your front gate.
Was it you who called?
Echoes from another life
A thread perhaps
Still held tight.
Our destiny was written.
So subtle was your ethereal touch,
Like an elixir of the breath of life itself.
I was compelled
To stir
To wake
To breathe again.
You made me gasp that day in awe.
And in a daze,
I stood
Numb
And wondered.
You were bathed in such a light.
Diamond pores
Radiate.
I was but a shadow of a soul
An empty aching hollow
Nothing more.
You took me by the hand.
You led the way.
Like a beacon
Pulsing.
To temple doors,
To healing hearts.
Ancient memories
Stirred.
Tears of return
Fell.
I am soul
Light divine.
I am love
Fixed design.
Scared space of love and light
Bathed us in flaming rays of pink ‘n’ gold.
With words of power
We summoned
Beings of might.
With invocations and incantations
We were embraced.
Sing you heart, mind, body, soul.
Brothers
Sisters
One.
To luminescent realms
Transformed
We flew.
The path revealed
Stood clear.
So brave were we, to pull away.
Or arrogant
Or stupid.
Perhaps it was just time.
Into the arms of my dark knight
I fell.
And you,
A bobbin Robin’s embrace.
Our lives became a Dosey Doe.
Weaving in and out.
Bowing gestures, how do you do
Of course, my friend
I’ll lunch with you.
Rites of passage
Self-love shrouded
Lost in yearning
Programs played.
The void of illusion swallowed me whole
I flayed.
Tumbled in crashing waves
Dark nights
Inky black oceans
Cold seas
Sinking.
Between each grasping gulp for breath
Steady and true
Your light
Pierced through.
Star in the night.
Sticky mud
Clouded view
Residue.
I cannot hear
I cannot see
Only your gentle touch
Kind words
Whispered northward home to me.
But then…
A cursed cloud engulfed the earth
Our waters filled with fear ‘n’ dread.
Run rabbit run
Down
Down
Down I go.
Black tar
In the mire
Shadow dancing
Heel ‘n’ toe,
Yet still...
You
Your friendship
Love
Light
Steady and true
Shone through.
Banished Myth.
Smoke 'n’ Shadows
Lies of who I thought I was
Arrow of truth
Illuminates.
I found my boots.
They were there,
Where I left them,
Behind the door.
I donned them on.
I found a new Aquila hat.
And that was that.
So, it sat.
Mirror of my inner-self
Who are you
If I am me?
Mirror of my outer-self
If we are love
Then we are free.
And I am you
And you are me
So, let it be.
