LOVE'S ECHO

Folder: 
2004

My Sweet Lover, as a reed is moved like strings on an instrument...

Play me!

MY Sweet Lover, as the notes ascend through the air……

Sing me from your lips!

 

Like a leaf in a rapid rushing over a fall.......

I want to surrender myself to you!

Like the river which leaps over the cliff and stirs up a sweet refreshing mist…

.I want to give myself to you.

 

To be a feather from a dove’s wing, so that I could show you the soft safe places you have to me...

and that I want to be for you,

To be that next feather which is perfectly melded, lying on top, going in the same direction,

connected to the same wing, giving us flight, embracing you fully, giving warmth, safety,

and peace…that I want to be for you.

 

Or to be a cloud that embraces the moon to shadow your shadow,

to meld our movements as our souls have done.

Or to be the sky, the blue, that embraces the clouds, and rise above the overcast and fog,

that surrounds the clouds and presses in on all sides to hold its form yet gives the freedom for change and to be different…

to carry us to the heights and hold us there…

never ceasing the movements in perfect rhythm so deep inside our hearts and souls.

 

Closer than close I want to be. Not close like the sun that caresses your cheek,

but close as the blood that rushes in your veins to your heart! 

Close as the air that raises the lungs with each breath!

More intimate than intimate I want to be.  Not so near to feel your heart beat, but to BE your heart beat. 

Not so close to hear you whisper, but to be the breath of the whisper….

to be the substance that surrounds each blood cell…which carries me to your heart and brings life….

to be that which captures each air molecule which is inhaled and exhaled back into blue sky.

 

I want to be the sound of truth, the touch of knowing,

your first visions of love, the smell of home.......

I want to always be love to you,

and to always love you is contentment!

I want to be the resonance of love and life, your bringer of peace,

your protector of suredness, your giver of freedom, your gatekeeper of the garden…

I, too, want to always love you and BE love to you, to always love you is enchantment…

to have your love is beyond expression.
