"Inside A Snowdrop..."

Today the winter is not as chill, nor as gray.  An azure depth backdrops the "fade"-to-white and the eyes remember what to see beneath patterns that shift and flow.  You hear your footsteps and ...feel the silence leave your mind.

 

"Inside A Snowdrop..."

 

Driplets - droplets

pitter and pat

echo and float

...and the sun is here

its touching

tracing

edging patterns smooth and

flowing.

 

Feel the air

- its fingertips grasping

finding each bit of you all at once

...teasing and tickling your cheek,

nose THEN down the throat

filling and growing 'til

becoming an exhale

becoming you out and upon the world.

Feel as each hair lifts and spreads,

gathers and becomes waves eddying and rising free

freefalling and floating and rising again -

riding the unseen exhales as the world

- your world - flows by-and-by

grasping and tasting life

grasping and BEING life for all the other exhales

to find and feel and be felt in turn.

 

Reach - palm up...

wait

...wait

then

     catch a miracle!

- a world within worlds within -

a snowdrop

a single glass to gaze in-and-in

to focus - deep

deeper still

... 'til

I see you

...behind my eyes

and the shadows and shades

surround and enfold

tightening

tighter still...

holding me

gentling me

becoming ...me.

 

I am lavender ghosting in the air

the taste and sweetness of your skin

the softness of each lil hair flowing by

the lips that found their home on mine.

 

Breathing is one long purr

and life is gently kneading into the softness

...of you.
