cellular memory

underneath these layers

I have hidden flowers

that grow in the light

of your sun...

 

sound and silence

flow from betwixt

my lips like water

 

both bound by your touch

to seek stilled fields

 

that remain, as yet, unnamed

by this soft and solemn splendor.

Thanks to each of you for your kind comments. Love and intimacy aren't subjects that I write about often. I would certainly never want to be guilty of trivializing such deep emotions by throwing words at them. I'm really glad that this touched each of you.

And, thanks for the suggestion, Graham. Though, John hit the nail on the head with his explanation as to why I choose to leave it. Things often have a sound and rhythm all their own that seems to take form even as they are being penned, and I often favor remaining faithful to that integrity.

Again, thank you!

Really a spiritual dimension that lifts your work almost out of the reach like soap bubbles, but worth entering in to the maze to claim them. Beautifully written elP
