I found you there
in translucent sunlight,
when the voices of sorrow
overwhelmed us
silent tears fell
in crystal showers,
scattering
like beams
of light
gently kissing our bodies…
dark undergrowth
sighed,
hearts spoke out-in true confession…
words diluted
into liquid breath
and suffering
flew
heavenward,
caught up
by the winds…
sapphire skies beamed down…
light danced
and the cathedral of trees
stood over us
covering us
honoring our courage…
The earth’s foundation
quivered
as we stepped
into the future
watchfully
tentatively
imagining a different world
beyond all suffering…
we bathed in the fragrance
of this holy foliage
baptized
by its forgiving light,
butterflies swooped
and the forest floor
tenderly
absorbed our pain…
And Time Lords
moved among us
in silence.
we chiseled
our heartbreak
in the dark bark of remembrance.
a chorus of tree frogs
whispered to the stillness…
leaves rustled…
we let the magic of the forest
soften us,
distill us,
with its cooling breath, and sweet-scented disposition…..
