her womb

The waves reach for me

As I walk these edges

I wind along the suture that binds this corporeal earth

 to her womb

I teeter on the edge

Falling away from myself

And I breathe

The waves reach for me

I reach back with my eyes

Ever wishing to pierce through that veil of the horizon

Gathering up all of the time

That the horizon holds in equipoise 

Where it is I began

Where it is I will end

The waves reach for me 

Her tumult is the symphony

That plays out my soul across our landscape

The chorus crashes against my being

And something dances

A pristine and sacred dance

That folds back into her, again and again and again

 The waves reach for me

I walk on and on

Bound within this body 

With all its pain and scars

With its flesh, with its bones 

That eons ago crawled away from her graces

So I walk on and on and on and on

And the waves reach for me 

The sky kisses her

And she kisses it back

They entwine eternity into their union

 They peel away the layers of time

That obscure the truth of duration

I dissolve away, as we dissipate together  

And as the waves reach for me

I reach back with my soul

I am naked enough now

The internal tides within have washed me away from myself 

Drenched in the afterbirth of knowing

I am set adrift

And if I could lose this form

I would crawl back to her

 I would swim back to her

And sleep forever in her womb

Her Waves Reach For Me
