Set Afire, All The While

2/17/08

Intimacy's desires
Sensations set afire
Are not there by accident
They're not transgressions to rescind, from which one need repent
Nor, for fear of loss
Addicted to gain
Are they something to be sought after, again and again

Like all life experiences fostering love and laughter
Heaven-sent
They're to be felt
Held
Caressed
Blessed
As the teachers and revealers that they are

They are the depth of the sea
Reduced to spume, if only consumed with attempts to re-create and resume
As birds in flight
Like fireflies in the night
They are the magic and mystery of that moment's delight

To honor
And appreciate
As gifts to unwrap
To be with, then let be
Instead of attached to constantly calling them back

Feeling, truthfully, never can leave
And, yet, there are as many expressions of feeling, of being
As there are leaves on the trees
So really
It's all about Being
Freeing

Trusting
Loving
Opening
And not so much a focusing
On lack and needs
Which cannot be

In time
As you choose to abide and reside
In the now moment of time
Everything will be that flowing
Of desire revealed
That knowing
Unconcealed
That it's You
With everyOne
In Me
Found, as intimacy's profound desire
Set afire, all the while
