THE RHYTHMS OF LOVE

08/29/2011 Posted by mindsinger

I reach for the rhythm of love like a child,
eager to hold for a moment
the fabric of time in trembling hands.

The misty stars dance to the movement
of their separate existence
even as I move to the ageless cadences of life.

Advance Retreat
Together Alone
A touch A smile
The joy of knowing The mystery of the unknown.

I reach for the rhythm of love like a child.
Ever new.
Ever and forever reborn
to wonder
to desire
to know and be known.

Dance with me, my love,
to the rhythm of life.
Weave with me a tapestry of time.
But lightly, love,
weave into it space.

For I would move from your rhythm
to mine and back again.
Free, yet bound.
I reach for the rhythm of love like a child,
eager to be bound, yet restless.
Hold me lightly, my love,
reach with me!

ADAPT GLIDE LIE

08/24/2011 Posted by mindsinger

 

I learned to adapt for that was the key

to living the lie no one dared to see.

From moment to moment,

from now to then

I changed my shape to accommodate them.

 

One day I’d be languid and easy to sway.

Another so stubborn I’d drive them away.

For they were the enemy,

protectors, and fiends;

and ever so close to my scariest dreams.

 

Glide silent and calm though turbulent sky;

and drift back to earth in terror to lie

exposed and in danger

of imminent threat

until morning brought surcease from

Innocence’s debt.

WILD HONEY

08/16/2011 Posted by mindsinger

 

You are to me as wild honey.

The thought of you fills my mind

with such sweet singing

I fear my heart will burst with the wonder of it.

 

You are to me as a quiet stream

flowing softly to the center of my being;

with a cool and quiet reflection

of my deepest yearnings toward heaven.

 

You are to me as earth.

You cradle my days in the gentle strength of your arms

there renewing and upholding my spirit,

until it brings forth life.

 

Let me be to you as sky.

Let me cover your world with sunshine

and refresh your heart with the gentle showers

of my love.

 

And, when our days are accomplished,

Let us be to one another as fire,

having refined and purified our spirits

in the heat of our love

until they rise to meet their Author and Sustainer!
