Can you feel it?

There's a sublime energy

pulling me down,

returning me to the Good Earth,

like a seed ready to burst free

like a sea beast,

left shelless,

though I am the ground I fall upon,

though I have been swallowed whole,

I shall break open,

a new seedling,

a great oak,

and in years to come,

gnarling, concentric-circled

I shall hide under a silver bark,

even though I shed leaves in my autumn hair,

even though I wear a heavy coat of white,

my limbs shall stretch towards heaven

touch the golden sun,

nearer to thee, my God, my father

nearer to thee, my God, my mother

and when the light of the moon breaks

clouds in a midnight-blue sky,

I shall surrender to starlight,

falling in a cool cool river, nearer to Thee,

....and

the raw wind shall call me, remember

my name in the year I fell to earth,

wingless,

in a late summer's crisp air,

floating in the colour green.

 

 

 

2.

 

And the golden eagle soars

on the wings of my own true love

carries the songs of my blue-skied heart,

flies in the currents of the salt-air above

 

I asked the liquid shining in your eyes,

so full of Light

how the moon fell silent in your heart so cold

how our innocent presence in the houses of our spirits,

did not gather

did not hurry home these

beautiful love letters we left floating on a raging river

when our words fell from Love's melody

....and we,

burning deeply in body-fires,

remember we are,

ever shall be but

twin flames

licking the spiritual wounds of us,

ascending

 

returned to stardust,

....another world we shall create,

we are Venus and Mars,

lonely planets,

arising from a distant seascape

in a velvet-dark night,

falling,

giving birth to an unnamed star

breathing deep our fragrant soul,

iridescent feathers in a tangerine dream

 

And the golden eagle soars

on the wings of my own true love

carries the songs of my blue-skied heart

flies in the current of the salt-air above.

 

 

3.

 

I am a rose,

held in unknown hands,

torn between two Lovers,

One is unrequited

I am gasping for air

like a pale fish out of water

never knowing the wetness of my petals,

glistening in the wonder and

melancholy of angels,

bewildered

I am a wildflower,

 

My other Lover is a song

I have yet to sing

basking in sunlight,

like Basho's frog,

we jump

we splash

we taste saltwater

flies,

enraptured in amber,

now released

in an ancient pond.

 

 

4.

 

Who shall kiss the hurting?

Bruising my human skin

having ripped my poet-tongue from my

soul's mouth,

Love

you have absconded my purpose,

you have left me in a dark and blackening night,

gaping deep-holed

where my wings should have been,

Love

you have taken the marrow from my last white feather

floating above a Vivaldi violin,

Love,

you have returned to my Garden,

to my open window,

and now

I am carried

to my Beloved's heart

in the sweetest birdsong

weeping in the colour Pink,

cascading cherry-blossomed,

I am

a gentle wind

inside a hollow reed,

willow-bent. Strong.

Earth-rooted.

 

 

 

 

 

Only Love,

Ana
