Into The Wind That Is You

Around this corner I see you

All of you

Looking back
Looking forward
At me

And me at you

And us at we

We kiss with our eyes without touching

Sometimes touching without kissing

Sometimes seeing without looking

Wondering no more

Because the answer has become clear

Both of us watching the same sunset

Both of us all in the many we appear to be

Seeing the same sunset that is never the same

Do you see my name written upon your heart
Like your names are written upon mine
Reflected in my morning mirror
Before the sleep has left my eyes
While they are still closed so that I can see

I am not woven into your heart
I float there in the void
Between the sheets
Separated by a molecule
So small you cannot even feel me watching

Spraying a cascade of waterfalls that is you

Reflected back to yourself in me

And me in you
And us in we

A rainbow of possibilities

Glimmering under the full moon rising

Jumping across the abyss

No longer afraid of that great depth

The floor seems closer now

As if only our fear ever separated us

From our own self

From your own self

The pretty game's magic unfolding

You look at the sharp edge and see it grow ethereal

No longer holding you in restraint

You walk upon water

And through the solid open wall

In your hands the shimmering key pulsates
Something beacons you to let it go free

Let it shine through the dark of your unknowing

Feel the edge of death soften as you see through that illusion

Fear at bay

No longer captive in the grip of your own hesitation

Released from the fabric to which you have clung

No longer swaddled

Your tears have dried

With no ladder to climb
And no will to look away

You levitate before the threshold now

I see you through the misty story

through the mystery

The earth opens below your feet

So that you may learn to walk on clouds

Your boat is anchored there

And has always been waiting

Ready for you to set sail

Ready for you to awaken

Knowing your path is etched

Into the palm of your own hand

In the sand where you built this castle

Beyond the reach of the tsunami

That covered you at birth

Leaving you breathless

Under an ocean of fear
But that tide has washed away
So that you may finally

Awaken child and sing

Without words

Into the wind

That is you
