Here is another poem inspired by my recent Vision Quest :
What can I say of the unspeakable?
Of the secrets shared in the most intimate moments with the Lover of my Soul?
How can my words capture
the tender caress of breeze
and the fragrance of rain?
How can I describe the weight
of something as seemingly unsubstantial
as a butterfly wing?;
The sweetness of the night?
How could I possibly convey
the sensuousness of the vine,
and how that feels in my spine?
Listen,
and you will hear the echo
of a tear drop on the dust
Let it cleanse the most ancient ache
In your heart
Behold,
the shimmer of the dragonfly wings
Reflected in the glint of your eye
Let it transport you into worlds beyond time
Breathe,
the scent of smoke and thunder that fill the air
Let it stir ancestral knowing;
The wisdom in your bones
Open your senses wide,
Beloved
Remember
And be re-membered
