Within it

I summon you

to touch her suffering,

lifting the veil of the blue moon

because she whirls within a circle,

protected by the stars,

resting in a faith

a few dare to understand.

she is the radiant is

and loves you as you become

what you are, and

you are the earth i am standing on,

the falling water reflecting

my face:

everything that honours life.

shhhh...

(women are holy here:

they speak in tongues

and their rhythms belong

to the drums as the winds rise.

if for two seconds

your intellect could ascend to her,

the whole mankind would be

forgiven and beauty could be

revealed.)

but

your eyes brought you

face to face to heaven

and there one sided truth

prevails.

we are not different though.

my original impulse 

still summons you

to vibrate

because faith pulses

everywhere,

because suffering escapes me.
