from our shores
we stake out our boundaries
at various distances for safety
outside of them
we are entrusted to traverse
quietly
with humility
with delicacy
because,
when we are lovingly let
to draw nearer -
we are allowed to discover
the light and life that many of us must leave
buried
amongst brush and boulders or
beneath the sand
quietly hidden from
the ravenous wandering souls
staring on
tempestuous howling storms
unconsciously devouring
what we haven't tucked away for safe keeping
& with such great gratitude
to have that arterial vein
willingly
with trust
opened for you to climb in
so you can be let to listen
to hear
to see
to know
the most earnest vibrations
intricate intimacies
the warm heaving and sighing
the most sacred temple
the most venerable *****
a ventricular vestibule
intimating the harshest subtleties
& the most visceral visions
