In The Humming Air*

I sit poolside

I am butterfly'd

I am hypnotized

By the space

In true dreams

I flew scenes

I drew time

In this race

Talk Talk

To the rainbow

Feel your heart flow

No disgrace

Being just here

Seeing so clear

So long ago

By grace

Breath with me

Be the sea

Traverse the chasms

In place

And step away

From yourself

And to others

Be the trace

Of love

And then, all at once, I am a consuming fire
Longing for all that I have never desired
Your gift has opened all the closed doors
And set upon me wings that beg me soar

Yet often I drift onto sullen shores
Lodged in driftwood, soaked, deplored
Criminal in my need to rage
And beat against this fleshly cage

I resist, then insist, on my way
Until you calm my heart and stay
Closely guarding the life eternal
You have saved from depths infernal

I love you
