The Blue Beacon 06/24/2012

I did it again.  Off I flew, jumping with excitement.

My heart was lingering between your eyes, but I flew.

My legs move me, the heart in my chest is pounding.

I chant to myself - why did I not talk?

Why can't I speak? Why do I run off like that?

I walk a distance, feeling a tugging in me.

I turn around and look, and I see your silly blue cap

Shining like a beacon, down the way.

It’s yelling to me with light,

"I'm here!  I'm here!"

Part of me wants to run back, swoop down the hill

And stand before your blue hat, breathless and exhilarated.

But then I sigh, and say,

But what do I have to say to him?

Nothing of importance.

There are things I could say,

But I've already walked away

And I left it on good terms.

Best to make a clean exit.

So I keep walking. 

My mind flashes, remembering

I accidentally poked you when you walked by.  

Smiling.  Turn to look again but I can’t see.

Now I'm walking across the flow of traffic, 

Looking for a clear line of sight

And yes, I see it - there's that blue light.  

Now I'm laughing.

It's just, you know,

I don't really want to talk.

I think I would be happy

Just to sit by you, close my eyes

And feel your vibration.  When you’re near,

The world looks beautiful, bright and clear

And I feel love allowing life to flow with ease.

Making conversation would only distract me

From the energetic current

That draws me to you.

Those were my thoughts

But time had already intruded,

And I ran off.  So I turned and left, and then

I drove through the sunset,

And now I'm nowhere near you.

But in my mind, I can see the glow

Around your bright eyes, and I know

There's some of me in it. 

The day I met you,

When I flew away from you that first time,

I fancied that some of you came with me.

The energy of an ethereal smile and sparkling eyes,

To whom I said, make yourselves at home, sweet particles.

While your charge lasts, you are welcome here.
