Here we stand, fraying away from the reef bed
Remoteness comes comprehensive secrets
Illuminating ears, eyes of life, mystery hiding deepest
Ripping reasons right out of yearnings, pain, this soul of mine
And there I, I am given the guidelines, kneeling to see torn flesh
From my knees…seeking the tear which reached out and
Touched me…is this such a difficult thing to find?
After all, every single root lay within the ground swelling in
The dark folds of earth…where body and soul combine into and from

Our lips part with questions on that colder side of the moon
Giving to your hands, what are heavy confidant passions
Within the deepest of longings we are born goldsmiths
Proceeding always like a milestone
Shaping something in every moment, even if only thoughts
Even if the day is gone, the cost is dear, but all coral is ours
In every drop of milk we spill
Rust from the face of time becomes varnished
Where enthusiasm paints the roads
Passing through another town, then another

Clear, pure hearts, hail a remedy full of pearls
Like the stories of a singing nightingale
Reflecting balms to quell weaknesses of man
Seeking adoration for our weariness
We scrape every drop of oil from almonds, praising such gifts
Or we should!
Floating in ecstasy one more time, we medley
What from our lips we arm, feeling the pulse of treasures
We are knots within comprehension, presenting ourselves the elixir
Joining forces is to find the key
All soothing words and promises must be dreamed
Then fulfilled, drinking the waters of truth
If we wish not to sever the links
All becomes one, in words, body, soul, truth, the spiritual…

The healer prepares a potion out of favor which never expires
Full of wisdom, understanding a hundred times lending
What is His to give…think, letting go of worries
And a oneness we can all know, the knowledge
From an earthly love that was is and always will be so complete
Sculptor an eternity of water filled of wills life, by reasoning
For…
Where the beauty of the heart is reckless with trust
For where ever beauty’s eyes see roses a bloom
Where ever eminence finds a voice
And innocence is the beloved…then
Where ever shameless truth be known
There to…is Love, polishing a rock to curve
Dependant on nothing…that is where all faces wear colors
Of spring light and music…and this is what I wish for all mankind
to see, feel, think, know
to wear this robe of beauty..
to know that there is nothing else, without it
Merry Christmas

You are so clear, so distinct. I just floated down through this poem like drifting in a rowboat and watching the banks go by.
