I feel numberless stars singing

They are my blood echoing night and day

Ancient rivers pour through sky as I fall

Up into my limitless reflection

Unseen waves ripple… my heart beats… poems softly bloom and

Melt into simply this song

.

We are dream dancers

Am I the echo or are you?

Our hearts are balanced just so

In the wind

Centrifugal force keeps us together

And apart

But the kaleidoscope breaks into infinite shards of color

Brilliant rainbow light reflections

Every piece breaks our hearts

Moon rushes through you and never stops

You are the edgeless ocean thirsty for more water

The endless river longing for the sea

Unafraid of light and shadow

Hard rain pelting your nakedness

Your heart

Softly weeping

Looking for my nakedness

I find infinite

Nothing

Everything

Empty echoes

Falling through crackly autumn leaves

I find acres and acres of sun filled shadows

Leaping across oceans of tears

Submerged

Dissolved

In sky

I find longing

Longing

To

Touch

…that wild howl I hear in the middle of the night is my heart aching

This is my solitude and my connection

This love…
