My limbs sprawl like the stars in the dusk sky
My spine supple
Body alive
I take pleasure in the prickling of the dry grass against my naked skin
I slither and writhe in the delight of being alive
The steady mountain bears witness
Firm in presence
Unwavering
I melt some more
And merge my face into her lap
Breathing in the sweet scent of her
A scent that stirs primordial memories
The ecstatic cry of the cockatoos
And the raucous cackle of the kookaburras
Invites me into the realm of the feathered ones
And for a moment I have wings
My gaze is drawn to the luminous jewel
Of Lady Venus above
And I feel her jewel brighten within my body
Here on earth as the Lover I am
Beauty arising endlessly
Blissfully entangled with Creation
My rapture dissolves the pain of feeling separate
Knowing this so viscerally
I cannot feel alone
Yet at once, it is all for me
Just for me
This intimacy
