"a conversation"


stay prostrated and allow me to listen to your humble words
tell me of this love with which i have blessed you...

one word is too many and ten thousand not enough
he is the many streams that flow into my lake
providing life's nourishment complimenting my life within
sustaining my living spirit within this dying shell of encasement
skin married to his soul, bound until the necessity to be unbound
when he is mentally and physically well then so am i
however, when illness is upon him unable to comprehend
i too become ill and share his sleepless nights and endless unending days
your voice would internally stir and then whisper, he is thinking of you and is near
i know then to prepare to either see or hear from him
an invisible thread bonds our very souls so they may easily and continually communicate.
i am part of him and he i unable to imagine separating the inseparable
separating the inseparable that have yet to be joined but have joined
and communed in a silent, spiritual language.
our spirits are as the winds rustling the treetops of the many fir trees
one whirling and one swaying
the colours of nature paint our skin creating our own unique race
the depths of our knowledge and understanding continue to share their wondrous journey in blue and green
thru tender, quiet moments of loving dialogue and relaxation, only he is able to fill my wooden pail with fresh, cool water
that truly is my definition of my very best friend
the sacred keys you gave each of us to our very soul have been exchanged
and left in the lock of the soul of the other
so like the water onto the receptive, sandy beach that ebbs and flows, the key is easily touched and visible
with open hand, we cradle and balance this fragile, delicate love
not to restrain or stunt the growth of the other but allowing each to flourish
and grow; for is that not trust?
without trust, what is our love?
without balance, what is our unity and division
as our flesh has yet to unite and divide,
i know our love is of the truest kind
the deepest connection a man and a woman is ever to experience
i have dreamed about our lives past
as we swam in the mighty Ganges speaking in Punjabi,
seeing us living in the Yukon, Canada dressed in our elk buckskins
walking on the Sussex Downs telling stories with English accents
and now on yet another of your journeys
i know our love is of the truest kind
and we need no law, no ring, no ceremony to make us man and wife
as ours is union before time and beyond this earthly life
and i know allah subhana wata allah that in your most gracious hand
dwells the smallest of seedling that you continue to nurture and love
as you allow your lovers to journey closer
to this destined virginal consummation.
la ilaha il lalah muhammadan rasulullah!
