Beneath the sun, piercing the cloudless blue, a confusion of gulls raises the eyes... A song of the heart disappears from the lips, a thoughtful prayer left undone. In the lingered image, the last of a woman’s eyes, deep and blue; within that moment a slow river runs, as it always has, finding its way –from cloud to sea. Am I the tree...or the hand that touches it, Am I in the journey, or its cause... The dream seems like a vapor and the world a mere tissue, I can reach my hand into a living night to touch cold fire. Let me awaken -came a whisper- then lips answered full: the dream ends where the dream begins in a heart of love, in arms that will be empty until I fill a space created by a river that flows so simply from thee to me.
