She was a spark
Spanning but instant generations
Clothed in stardust
Naked to that place before birth and after death
As thought of God
Less of a dream
More of a smile
Merging within that space-time continuum
On the face of awe that is
A hopeful fuel
In the tinderest of worlds
As an owed flame
Meeting for the first time
Caught up
Not in making memories
Sow much as the unforgettable
This poem is about human life lived in the presents of our mystical or divine nature which is both immediate and ceaseless. The joy and assurance of ever-fresh possibilities and abiding, sublime companionship sets the bar much higher for what a full life encompasses. A full life is leavened by unforgettable experiences more sow than a mere collection of memories. Life is more fully characterized by lively experiences than sheer existence. This poem seeks to present a daringly dual encounter of both first love and oldest friend, the simultaneous experience of the freshness of emerging love and the comfort of a steadfast confidant. May your life be steeped in such marvelous moments.
Being A hopeful fuel/In the tinderest of worlds speaks to the vulnerability of unabashed hope and irrepressible joy in a world that is far too fixated on command and control, and is busied with armor more than amour. May love overwhelm your every defense. May your life be less about getting and more about un-forgetting.
