Beyond All Belief

Rain falls, layer upon layer,
soaking the spring earth
with wet desire.

 

She lies waiting
in her dark encampment,
for roots to sing,
her womb to open
to the passionate sun.

 

Let lightning strike our hearts,
the groaning of the land be heard.
The gathering of night
meets one bright star,

 

and beyond all belief
the cherry trees flower.

    Water soaking, Air Springing, Earth opening, and the lightning Fire of the One Bright Star that lightens my heart, beyond all belief, amidst our strikingly radiant union in Spirit Anew… That, my friend, is what I dearly love, live for, and long for!
