In the absence of
ourselves...

There are only mirrors held
before us.

And the grace of our
reflection.

In every glance we offer.

Keeping Things Whole

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

The way you describe this two way missing is brilliant in its own right.

When we step into transparency

your light reverberates in my tears

rainbow molecules dance within our souls

and silently we dissolve to just be Love.

So very beautiful and inspiring, dear Eric.
I love you.

So true, and
you make me think.
I like that.

Always, Alyssa
