I Breathe in the Ocean

so difficult

the meaning
of a life
lived upon the…

you come to me
in dreams,
as I wrangle
with my feelings,
and the rocks in my heart,
pull at me one by one…
tales lived,
woven with liquid
dreams, as we continue
to share
ourselves
and seal the seams
with
a love
so rare,
it’s hard
to explain
the affair
yet,
I’m beckoned
again, and again,
to write
what comes up
feeling
like
the mysteries
are ready to jump
straight
from
my heart,
through
my fingers, and
onto
the page
you’re already reading…
trees grow
tall,
and strong
from earthly soil, and
as
they
avail, are
given
guidance,
and strength
from beyond the pale
roots,
dug in deep,
like the veins
running through
you
and me…and,
as
reflection
gives way, a
preponderance
of evidence
comes
forth…
teaching us
of the unity,
and companionship,
between
all living things,
and the me, you see
beauty unseen
in despair,
felt like a lead weight
across my chest,
and inside my heart, blessed
forevermore
is known, yet
time stood still
for a moment, grown
and,
unbeknownst to me
lasting an eternity…
felt
deep inside,
trees look at me, and
shake their limbs, they see
the magic
living inside of
every moment,
even those that feel
so solemn and swollen
with feelings
bound together,
configured
like a mass of pressure
growing
stronger over time,
unable to realize
the thread’s end
lives inside
awaiting a kindness,
often seen in my dreams,
I recollect all those
lost feelings, and
begin to pull the thread
closer to me
and,
as the thread comes forth,
the pressure subsides,
as the tears wash away
the pain of yesterday
so gray, and
at the same time
lighted rays fill my heart
with gratitude,
may I stay?
is a question
needed not,
leave off the clamour,
for its inside this space
where we’ll find the answer
the river runs
north and south,
feeling the drift
of the current begin,
letting go
of the trembling within
for now…
discovering
more on the banks,
eddies sharply tasked
with creating stability,
loose leaves raining down,
cascading,
for deliriums sake
a break…
not far away,
stowed, and a little
out of control
wanting to resign,
as the love
of my life
passes by
walking
along the shore,
greeting the love,
missed by a kiss,
forevermore, remiss
the light…
cascades
through the trees,
dancing, and
entrancing,
so majestically
touching
the being withdrawn
from within, so…
let us begin…
