Beauty
That moves the soul
Summoning Source through the sensuous gateways of this Earthen vessel
Warmth and harmony adorning
My dressings and surroundings
Passionate, Godly love, that brings you to your knees
Weaving words, uttered in ecstatic prayer
In the deepest chambers
Ruminating on the swelling awe of a dark moon night
Light the candles above the altar,
Ignite the coal, to gently crackle its elemental song
A tear drop of my ancestors wisdom
A bead of copal resin
Undulating smoke that plumes and caresses
around the silken contours of flesh and stone
Draping creamy Jasmine vines
Along the arch-ways of my soul
The depth of her soft perfume
Lilting through the memories of a heart cracked open.
Each breath, and step
Slowed with a skilled grace
As if dancing through amber ambrosia,
The white linens she wears, melting through warmed honey
What defines a gift from sorrow
A momentous birth, a sparrow lost to the hawk
The tapestry of stories, sunrises and fallen mountains
All a piece of something perceived
Letting go, focused attention
Breathing in, singing out
Beloved, you are infused in every bit
Of this dream sewn together
By the beautiful weathered hands
Of Mystery and Spirit.
