Psalm

so long have i waited


watched

and weathered

storms and terror

night and vicious day

day and and the torture of night

all without you.





i've waited lifetimes

watched for eons

as stars formed above

rose

shined

brought forth life

and then died

in a penetrating explosion

reaching through time and space

all the while i've waited

for you.



the earth spins

mountains collapse

fires, floods, earthquakes

ravage the pristine earth

robbing us of our treasures

of each other.

families torn apart by disaster

either nature or war

the folly of man

how many have been born and died

how many lifetimes have passed before our eyes

since i've seen you?

since i've felt you?

since i've been one with you?

let me become one with you.



bring to me the torture in your soul

the lifetimes you've endured while you've waited

searching

for relief from this life

from the terrorists of nighttime

empty it all at the entrance to my chamber

dive into me

and emerge baptized

renewed.



see in me the gods and goddesses

the power of soul

the movement of the divine

that i see in you

feel it in my every breath

let every touch bring life

let every sigh erase death

let every kiss empower

embolden

emblazen

encircle

then arise and greet the new you

imbued and injected with your own power

unleashed.



as you fill

so am i filled

as you feed

so am i fed

as you live

so am i alive



when you arrive

the storms shall clear

sins are pardoned

death no longer contains us

but liberates us

through you, through me

we find that life,

that love,

that the overwhelming power of the pounding penetration

permeates to the primordial plane

the perspicacity of our union...

and we are forever changed.



no longer do i wait.

i am.
