this
human life
the most incredible possession
so raw and delicate
held in
balance amid the pulling fates
skating precariously along a
razor's edge
poised and
entranced, in gracious beauty
naked, with eyes wide open
in flawed perfection
lo,
sweet intoxicating
consciousness
permeates my being
I share this
bittersweet ecstasy with you
this fragile rapture
we are brought together, here
occuping this
pinhole in space
this fleeting moment in time
our
separate lives touch, mix,
entwine
each forever altered by the other's
presence
in ephermeral
stillness
our joyous
duty:
to enrich
our lives through our
meeting
to fill our shadows with each other's
essence
and to always be
mindful of this magic
that we may never feel
alone in our journey
swimming through the stars
as they bleed their silver light
forever
and as I live and
breathe
I cry toward the heavens
"here are
we"
and pray that you are
listening
