I had seen her dance
within the light of the rising sun,
along a golden faraway shore.
She had stood, radiant and blissful
at the edge of my greatest visions
which I now shared with myself only
while walking the city streets.

In the shadowy pre-dawn world
I was sadly returning home,
tired and hungry and burdened
from exposure to night vision pain.
Through twisting, twisted streets I wandered,
sharing a fear-filled sense of security
among strangers in unequal bondage...

On impulse, I handed my money to a beggar:
was it compassion,
or an effort to ease my heaviness?
A bit of both it seems, but in that moment
the sun pierced the space
between two great towers
and touched my back as a gentle burning:
I turned in wonder
and I saw her there: she of the golden shores,
as beautiful, as radiant as ever I’d seen
in my visions of paradise.

She had been waiting, watching, hoping
some day I’d give her cause to reach for me:
a touch of unconditional love towards another.
She smiled as she touched my hand.

I knew she would go when the sun set,
but she reminded me of tomorrow,
of endless dazzling days in her havens of love,
where my visions of her, my love for all
would bring forth eternal bliss for those
who entered there with us, unafraid and free.

a most fine ‘write’!...

I am especially fond of:

“Through twisting, twisted streets I wandered,
sharing a fear-filled sense of security
among strangers in unequal bondage(!)...”;

AND:

“the sun pierced the space
between two great towers
and touched my back as a gentle burning:
I turned in wonder
and I saw her there: she of the golden shores,
as beautiful, as radiant as ever I’d seen
in my visions of paradise.”

serious applause!!

To take the hand of unconditional love
is an awesome life-goal. I believed for many years it was possible on a large scale, but have come to the conclusion it's a rare being who is capable of true complete pure unconditional love.
As always, I appreciate reading your thoughts tonight.

One Who Walks With the Wind, this is a fine, spiritual write. ~ Spell-binding and increases one's awareness to the unseen world around us. Of this, you speak/write, poetically and with eloquence.

Love & Goddess Light,
