Soul Pond

Warmed by the fire
heated to the bone by a glance
thrown across a room
Causal perhaps
yet
Intense in the instant, brilliant
A spark bursts to flame...
in an instant

A touch and a taste
of lips
Burning away the past
in another sacred instant
gifted brilliantly
Invisible to all, but you
who saw deep and clear
into the perfectly still pond
of my soul
The ripples reflected in the blue
of my eyes
where you tossed your pebble
Cascading out
in an instant,  Thousands of circles
connecting
Vibrations converging...
in an instant

A fire burns, a fruit ripens
A bird finds a new nest, and
stays
for a while
Lifetimes lived in instances
brilliant

A spark set free a fire
one we needed to be near
As we warmed our selves...our
souls
Our fears illuminated
surfacing to be saved
and sent on for healing
Some transformed in the leaping of the
flames
burned forever away
Those that remain....... our nemesis
stealing the oxygen from the flames
once dancing.....jumping
burning

and.....
the fire died

And the bird flew away
to fashion a nest
New and unencumbered
hers alone
Out on our own
warming our selves...our souls
in the memories
now and again......

When I fly to you again
as we are gifted an instant...
brilliant
Perhaps you'll recognize a reflection
of your ripples
once living in the blue
of my eyes

May you be warmed by them
to the bone
in that instant
Brilliant!
