through her he was to know god
she brought him inward
through a darkness full of wonder
empty of fear
she shared him mysteries
free from all that was jagged
it was not big
it was not seduction
it was an encompassing healing
a grace full of joyful weeping
silence the first breath he ever fully took her beauty communion

Where can i always meet you?
where can we always be alone?
those open spaces
shadow lives
summers linger
all ghosts laugh
weeping is for beauty
sweet and savory.
all pain, in remedy
honey tipped restored.
where i always meet you
in those open spaces of the heart
