Where the fishes hide

Beneath the ocean

Above the sky

Love rips you into eternity

.

You thought your wings were broken

But they were never needed

To fly

Sky sings through you

You are sky song

Remembering

Itself

Through your lips

Your heart

Your beautiful voice

Trembling

And strong

Tender and subtle

We are the resonance

The shimmer

The music of life…

We cannot hide

Nor find

The lines that separate the words…

.

The horizon that slipped beneath the waves

Flows through us

Light and dark

Dark and light…

Currents of love

And love lost

Merge

In this ballet

Twirling

Into

Itself

.

Your face adorned with Water rings

Swirling reflections of lace

Trees and sky and memories slide through your beautiful eyes

You are liquid

As am I

We dissolve into each other

In the deep

Deep

Quiet

Of our solitude

.

The shape of sound

Hovers

On my lips

A howl

A cry

Of meaningless syllables

Pours from my heart

How can I say I love you?

I am you!…

Infinite stories to share

Lives lost and found in the telling

Countless sensations

This chilly morning

The garbage truck growls down the street

Sounds like the piers in Bangkok

Elephants are loose!

And we get on the ferry

And slide down the river

Passing by temples and high rises and smaller ramshackle buildings

Under impossibly delicate bridges

Through eddies of water Lillie’s

And clear plastic bottles shimmering in the sun

Locals and tourists chat

Whistles of the boatmen

Houseboats

Placidly

Float

On the lullaby of waves

In my mothers arms

Now in my husband’s

Always

Embraced

From the inside

By love

.

Neath the brambles

In the deep

Deep

Silence

Our hearts find their song

.

Wind is our home

River is our thirst

We are a river of memories

Beautifully Bittersweet

Sad and beautiful

This ebbing and flowing

This rush of emotion

Bathes us

Cradles us

And seems to kick us out of the cradle

But there is no in nor out nor in…

.

To share intimately with words

Is rare

Yet in everyone’s eyes we recognize ourselves

Small talk is just a way of saying I love you…

When you catch a glimpse into someone’s eyes

You feel it all

The pain

The longing

The love…

.

There is no place without you

No place within

Wind sighs our sorrows

Trembling leaves sparkle

Diamonds in your eyes…

.

In the forest

Under the trees

Amongst the rustling fallen leaves

Our hearts

Leap

Into their own wildness

In the clearing

By the meandering stream

Long long grasses

Thick with flowers

Newly golden

And red

Small white butterflies hover

Yellow ones

Upside down

Softly

Softly

We bathe in deep currents

Under our reflections

Where the fishes hide

.

We are the spherical lyrical love light of song

The forethought and afterthought of time and timelessness

First bird

…long before dawn

Where is his song?

Where is it not?…

My fingers disappear into the grey cat’s fur

I dissolve into the purr

Light begins to pour through the window

How does morning arise?

Just like this…

.
