Embedded Hieroglyphics

Called to journey
Through the passageway of my heart
I close the door and turn
Exposing myself in full surrender

Fuzzy whiteness vibrates around me
A fleecy cocoon tickles my limbs
I feel your fingertips calling out to me
Royal turquoise butterflies appear
Leading the way onward

Dissolving light waves reveal
Frolicking foam caressing sandy shores
Transparent bubbles look up at me 
From in between my toes
Walking slowly, I pause
I lay down ~ cradled by the beach
Exposing my flesh to
Lapping waves which nuzzle me gently

Rising to my knees
I lay my ear against
The calm waters
Waiting for your call

Caw   Caw   Caw

Attentive seagulls glide close by
Bellies against the surface 
Of ocean’s breast
I hear you whisper
~Join me my love ~

I raise my arms up
Feeling the breeze kiss my fingertips
I float upward
Lavender lenticular clouds
Create continents and islands
Of hope and discovery

I touch your heartbeat with
My outstretched hand
Allowing you to lead me
With your magical magnetism
Guiding me to realms unknown

We drift upward viewing twilight tendrils
Of mauves, sages and fading Prussian blues
Each movement a deepening 
Of heart and soul
Receiving embedded hieroglyphics
Of passion and pain

My heart expands
My soul delights
As I weep silent tears of gratitude
Remembrances of lifetimes past

I gaze skywards witnessing
The three sisters on cliff’s edge
Pillars of strength and wisdom
Sharing insight
Pink smoke hovering 
Around their downy silhouettes
As hawks, snakes, and reptiles
Of the canyonlands observe

Coyotes howl in the distance 
Sensing the ceremony

With eyes closed
I feel the embrace from you
From my sisters
From the elements
From the animals
Our shared connection

We are one
I send my kiss out into the universe
As heaven’s face smiles down upon us
