Elevating Heart

Elevating Heart



Sweat of Life
Piercing pain of Sorrow
Pendulum of gratitude in motion

How fortunate to experience  
To Feel
To delight in the depths of emotion
I burst knowing I am capable of such workings of the 
Heart, mind and soul

I am you
You are me
We are we
 
We are one with each other, with nature, 
With the sky, the stars, the moon,
With the creatures of the ocean blue depths,
With the feather tips of ancient falcons,
With the wind whistling through the towering singing trees,
With the lonely roads stretched out on the horizon,
With the melting icicles of change

I am a teardrop on the petal of your eternal flower
I feel the whisper of your breath
Graze across my lips
A gentle imprint left behind
A kiss on my eyelashes 
And I am yours

I am honored to be a part of you
Of us
Of now
Of distant past lives
And of
Unrevealed futures

I wear you like my favorite oversized cotton shirt 
Threadbare at the elbows
You inhabit my body
Tracing the shapes of my ankles
With your fingertips
Massaging my toes
Following the curves of my hips
Kissing my eyes
And cupping my heart gently

I am in flight ... I am your messenger.
We are one. The radiant glow follows us
Light energy, a tribal dance,
A halo of flickering beauty
Blazing
A flame
Let us be beacons of light together
Fingertips touching, melding
Becoming one beating heart together 
For all eternity
Elevating others around us in gratitude

From above in the silent air 
I see a fire flickering in the darkness below
Shadows sway on the towering rock walls
A steady drumming in the distance
A drum of ancient hide

Thrumb - thrumb - thrumb

A father watching his newborn suckle at
Its Mother’s breast
A peace resides within

How glorious to be a piece, a part of, a fiber, a color
In this magnificent tapestry of life 
That we have all woven together
I fly to the highest snow-covered peak with you and 
Dive to the darkness on the ocean floor as 
Mysteries reveal themselves

My tears are sweet with magic
And salty with memories 
Of time gone by
You are my gift
My hands are warm
My heart is full
A silent smile fills my soul
And wraps me in its embrace
