New York August 6, 2013



Suddenly I feel sweetly tender
toward that man who broke my heart
he who is heading away from me
feverishly driving east.
here I sit, with my empty arms
my heart reaching across the miles
so my chest feels rather empty too.

Still, be still and quiet
breathe and feel the presence of The Beloved
The Beloved carries me with soft wings
I fly to him, lighter than air
I nestle under his ear by his neck
he expands to meet me
and there’s a fast, upward rush in my heart
and here I sit, with full heart, full feeling.
Still, be still, don't fight it, let it flow here.

He drives, he drives.  He's weary with it
but he nears his destination.
he loves me, in his way, I know it
but I let him go without a word
I think he wanted it that way.
