Sitting at my window's edge
watching feathers of clouds
etching orange features of you,
waiting for words
writing our first moment together
in the well where every poet
should love to drink,
I breathe the landscape
after rain has come -
patient for rhythmic sighs
to heal our dreams,
drenched in Soul's sustenance -
I feel your hand gentle my heartbeat.
We were always meant
to write the will of the way,
Me in my mountain of silent rhyme,
you on your prairie waves of grass,
following ancient lyrics
of love's fragrant motion.
We are scented with Beauty
found in each other's visions -
your mountain rhymes drift silently
across my prairie grasses waving songs
as we dance into darkness,
holding the light within.
Each day flowers of words fly
like my ravens in a canyon dance,
never a symbol of death,
but a celebration of anticipation,
aerial acrobats swirling soul
in infinite control of limited space.
Each night, sighs flow freely
like my doves across the horizon,
always a symbol of life,
a swaying of possibility,
feathers floating in hearts
smoothing the edges of eternity.
