In and further in it flows, that energy of soul
I’ve come so well to know - and to love
with each and every fiber of who I am today
on each of every level … but I’m not allowed to say
how far up and down I go.

Though shiver the bones of those in the know
no fear turns a heart into icicles, snow,
for the heat of desire ever present enflames
and boils the blood till it overflows.

I sigh for my life caught in this flow
with no hand to hold until I grow old –
older, I guess, after my recent regress
back into the grip of teenage hormones
sticking like glue to the framework of you.

Do I cry? Can I say how often I pray
not for cessation but for clarity
of who picks up the bill and settles my needs
in this visual world perceived to be real?

And my mystical “you” cannot be you
for you stand like a statue carved out of stone
on the edge of extinction and banishment from
your rightful place in the world of all souls.

The “me” that I am on the level of love
sends this last plea before she disappears
for stone to collapse into particles, dust,
and fly through the sky in the slipstream of trust.

That’s all I can say from so far away
from who I appear on the surface to be,
the rest and remainder lies now as before
in the wonderful hands of time!

Dixie, you have your own wonderful style - it's what makes you so special and once you know it, you've made it!

Sometimes words do not come, and yet it feels so inadequate to say that I enjoyed- but 'tis true - a read to sink ones mental teeth into-

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Icebox - All the good things in life are "magical" because one minute they're here and then with the blink of an eye they're gone.

You are so wise and wonderful, Helen. Thank you Honey, bunches.

I shall sleep on that, and just maybe, rope in a dream.
