A river of light
Wide and expansive
Shines its path
To my beating heart
Graceful and luminous
It captivates me
Pausing my thoughts
My mind is quiet
Vibrating gently
I sense the sun
Warming me
I am Surrounded
Embraced
Comforted
Stirring then
I discover myself
Behind heavy eyelids
I slip back into the darkness
And the dream continues
The rain
Falls in a mist
Softly, slowly
Everything is just out of focus
So calm and present
And that’s when I recognize
You
When I dare
To move too close
It dissolves
Right before me
Just beyond the reach
Of my outstretched arms
Yet Fear and disappointment are absent
Because truth lives there
Beyond our selves
It is real
But here
I don’t know what to say
My dream appears happier
With rivers of expansive light
And misting rain
And warm embraces
Yet I keep quiet
And the aching begins again
Until I can see
Who we are
And
To Know
What Love is
And
Where
It Truly Exists
