My prayer

the pause
between
a breathe

the kiss
between
you and me

the moment
within
a moment
of yearning

the light
behind closed
eyes

Sometimes
we become
so full of
ourselves
that when we
look into others
all we can see
is ourselves
and
this
can
****
us
off
to no-end

Right now
my windows
are closed

She's out there
in the rain
and gray sky

I'm not worried
her voice is
all I need

She whispers
between the tree
branches

Her shadows
dance in hidden
places

If I open
my windows
I'm afraid
I might lose
her

what will you do
when
silence
knocks?

what will you do
when
loneliness
wants to be your friend?

what will you do
when
you speak but
know one hears?

I once walked on the
moon
she told me
my foot prints

told a story

leaning over
pond's edge
still water reveals
blue sky with moving clouds
tree branches
full of blossoms

a fish rises
kisses waters surface

Its kiss
reveals

sunyata

I'm wearing a mask
just like
yours
Do you like it?

we take the
mask off

I am you
and
you are me

cliche you say

then wear your mask

we can sit here
and breathe
air

Ohhh, I'm whispering it
again

I'm your
breath

I'm your
breath

Lovers never hold their
breath!

Breathe

Breathe
