When the heat of summer hits the skin
like a lazar beam from hell
it’s only spirit love
converting unseen tears
into the visible.

But what is this just seasonal?
I’m no fool to now believe
love has times and seasons
but I know it has a reason
for forcing out the hidden.

Water, water, then and now;
rivers, streams, combined with me
flowing still and always to
the state in which I’m meant to be.

From love and then back unto love
yet human action ne’er begets
the taste and touch of evermore
when minds like sewers dirty
turn blind eyes to the knowing.

Look, look, and know I know
there’s double now the feel in me
bringing back the memories
of a summer in release
of the pent-up, chained, confined,
awesome love of mind!

Thanks M. I think that sometimes what we cannot see is pretty active in our lives - seems that way to me at any rate.

Happy 2008!
