MEDITATING IN CIRCLES

I remember as a little girl

how I used to chase the wind in circles

for hours on end

meditating on the eye of the storm

with peals of laughter traveling on the leaves

to places I had never even seen

Innocence wrapped up in a warm winter coat

a serene solitude

and long conversations with invisible beings

playing alone on the driveway

I didn’t have a care in the world

Distant sounds of the amusement park

and traffic congestion subliminally enter my ears

I never felt the cold

and didn't even care that my socks were not a pair

All I wanted to do

was chase those leaves

round and round and round

until I dropped

so dizzy
I would fall

giggling
in a heap on the cold winter ground

Now, as the woman I have become
life has a way of coming full circle

I no longer chase the leaves

…only my dreams

Which will lead me one day to places Ive never been

but more importantly

to find that place I will call home

...my one true destiny

the whisper of the wind putting my mind at ease

CONCECRATION

Our union is like entering a temple

We pray at each other feet

It feels like we know each other’s thoughts so intimately

we somehow commune in a revered telepathic silence

and I always hear you answer me

its just the way it has always been between you and me

There is a kinship and devotion
that makes speaking about the obvious

Seem almost superfluous

Often basking purely in a shared awareness to fill in our time

Your every thought reflected in me

I often feel your presence in my dreams

Leaving calligraphic inscriptions in my memory

And yet

If I were to actually see you

How do I know that I will not run from you

Scared by the intensity

Not knowing what to actually do

Ive made love with you a thousand times in my mind

But there is no guarantee that I can actually play out my phantasy

In real time
