between you and the world

Speak to me as you speak to the stars

Knowing full the answer, yet you ask

Hear me in the silence that rises
in the spaces between you and the world
noticed like the last dripping spill of rain
the noiseless call that stills all thought.

See me as you see the face of the river

Giving form to unseen wind, holding

The soft shoulders of the moon

Know me as you know the voice of your mind
patient and forgiving of all things
eager for the rush of love

And feel me as you feel a breath

Touching your lips in a slow exchange

Of  warmth…
