You Know December 1, 2009
feeling
you know
vague thought skittering along ribs
what portend does it bring
omen misery dark or laughter light
touch
you know
warm caress against mute skin
is something reaching out
or is it reaching in
whisper
you know
sighing wind easing past mind’s gate
words ever so very faint
vanishing sound merges with heartbeat
dream
you know
vision catching prismatic window pane
sight achingly ephemeral
asking: stop, listen, see
ringing
you know
life’s cacophony
discordance trying to push heart aside
vainly tempts hard journeyed soul
meditation
you know
gathers pieces scattered in darkness
allowing momentary grace
golden light illuminates archangel
union
you know
waking dream whispers within mending touch
silencing noisy world
Raphael gilds sky with healing lace
angels
you know
when least expected
flicker within the ordinary
sharing our breath with us
