Returning

 

There is so much sweetness in the world

Honey on the tongue

Goldenseal

A collusion of jasmine and earth

Abundant

In every cell

 

For your return

I will throw down

My burdens 

as proof

Let them all go the way of

Out purposed things

 

Let it flow

Love let it out

Let it go

Even In ruins

Love built Remembrance 

to outlast millennia

But quickening

now flickers the eye 

in sleep

Or cloud

Occluding moon’s lantern

 

In a moment 

Another moment will arise

Then another

Ceasing and returning

Ceasing and arising

The breathing ritual.

Morning dew

In a field

Overnight cool

Soon to be overtaken by the sun’s

insistence to go forth.

Forward motion

Letting it all go

Letting it Flow

In Time 

Unknowable where 

Lover and Beloved

Are not separate.
