Ode to a Sacred Stone

For a moment our of time and timelessness

I can be here with you

You have not gone or are going

The essence of thee enters and returns from the essence of me

With you dear being of earth and stars I commune

I give thee my forehead full of longing

I give thee my fingers full of love

When my fingers caress your face

I know deeper than your grainy face

When my forehead kisses your face I know

deeper than your surface formed hard terrain.

For a moment our of time

I can be here with you in deep timelessness

For a breath our of place I can

be here with you in deep placelessness

I can let the tears fall that I dare not reveal

Your steady immovable presence opens

a portal between the realms

and all the realms merge into

a perfect slip stream

where dreams and tears and whisper and longing

all dissolve

reunited into the place where union never departed.
