Here is a poem I wrote on 5.28.14

echo from a past life - this is how i imagine it


breathless and flying
navigating
swimming
gliding
uncoiling
emerging

love

controlled chaos
you and i am you are me
we
us

i am born out of life
with wings lifted up
i am opening

come
be
let go

warmth
life-dependent
heat
ancient connection of fire and breath
minds and lungs and souls
and skin and hearts
and bodies
and we
us

you are born out of life
with eyes lifted up
you are opening

creation

innocent pulse
familiar still
immeasurable time
we are old and young and old
together
jaded
hopeful
risky
afraid

we became before we ever were
we know but do not know each other
parallel lives broke
and now bend and twist
and restart and tangle
to intersect in unexpected surprised collision

i am you are me
one
we
us
