#261...a trip to the light

A Trip to the Light

Come, gather close to me
 - if you dare
to take a trip to the light
fantastic
-a journey to stellar nowhere,
everywhere.

With wide-eyed and glistening wonder
we will visit 
          a lifetime of meaning-filled pauses...
                         and slip silently into each stolen breath.

and there - with deja-viewed curiosity
we will study
each miniscule marvel
and adorn ourselves with memories that were half-forgotten.

We will circle round crystallized
breathing dreams
            -and smile wide at their auras of borealis.

Inhale deep 
the freshness of bright new being...
for then
we must run our fingers along the ruins
     of plans            unfinished
and touch the textures of crumbling heartaches and emptiness.

We will return then,
to shadow the loved ones...

to repair and dress their wounds of sorrow 
          - and kiss away
the sweet/saltiness of falling tears
sprung forth from griefs -
                          of unknown depths.

And in the bitter and sweetness of familiarity,
            we will comfort 
by placing petals of serenity upon their lines of worry.

To soothe and ease their uncertainties - 
                      ...we will shatter pain with a feather touch.

Then, with a full, but un-heavy heart,
we will return
to lounge by the side of nowhere...everywhere
to delight in observing life's mysteries unfold - 
one,
  byone,
      - by one...

and relax to the rhythm of new knowing and seeing,
perfumed with the knowledge of the hearts we had nutured,

and sleep soft on the solar winds of eternity
        blanketed in starlight -
               and love's light -
                    and God's light...

and dream with the colours of a million white suns
             - dressed in dewdrops of our imagination.

Come, gather close to me,
        if you dare -
to take that trip through life fantastic...
a timeless trip to the essence of being,
of life,
       of love,

              ...of death.
