ONCE UPON A HILL

     Upon a hill

I climbed one day

By accident,

I found my soul

And recognized it

     Instantly.

I could have

Just as easily

     Missed it

And gone another way.

To love again

And know the joy

Of giving

All my heart

And soul

Again to living,

A dream so sweet

It could not be

Muffled by reality.

Signs and symbols

Airborne,

Out from under liturgies

Too long held

Against the wind.

Be reborn

Better

Than before.

Transport me,

Cell by cell

To where you are.

There must be

Spaces in between

Your cells

For me ~.

Where mine

Belong.

Summer morning

Subtly presents itself

As a fresh cool kiss

- Until it starts to blister.

       Tides of golden clouds may fret,

    Wash across a spotless sky of blue,

Churning up whipped froth in kindly threat

      Or gently rain and then move on ~

                           Adieu.

Time and speed -

New dimensions

For one who knew

But quiet space.

                          There is

                     Nothing more

                   And nothing less

                         Than this -

                    A total moment

                        Fully lived.
