Beyond the limits of a mind
a mystic one with love abides
and at a whim moves you and me
betwixt, between, true ecstasy.  

From there to here; what do I fear
robed and anointed with my tears
restrained on this unstable ground
in spirals spinning down, down, down?

And life’s unending turn from love;
who stands behind this daily shove
that lands you/me distant, apart,
from an immense and fulsome heart?

Beyond the limits I declare
a merchant gathers up my prayers
like winter hoards for warmer days
sun’s truly awesome summer rays.

And there they lie in endless sleep
beyond the limits of my keep!

love the whole thing, Helen...but have to agree with the last line that  so much is :
"beyond the limits of my keep!"
