Here I sit beneath tall cliffs
in sunlight, by the dancing stream.
I call it summer, but gold flowers
they tell me cannot fade.

I flow through phantom dreams
forging rooms of light beneath cliffs
where solemn pillars stand as guiding beacon
through all storms

My heart is at peace.
Fields of fragrant flowers descend,
my arms trace the sky, releasing
jasmine and lilac cordate panicles
of pink-purple effluvia grow into mist
and I become your breath

As the tongue danced
across the portal of G-d --
Gasp! I heard a gasp.

"I am not now that which I have been."

Excellent imagery, Julian...how'd this get overlooked?? Love the graphics, too! Great write...

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

Absolutely breathtaking Mabel, and oh but it was so soothing, and peaceful. My favorite line was "and I become your breath", fantastic my friend, exceptional writing.

If I made you smile today then I did my job!
