Oh glorious you With eyes that speak and tongue that listens With heart that takes note With breath that catches With gut that is wise and circumspect With intentions that come from the deepest place of respect With skin that burns and seeks to be touched in return With feet that catch pavement and swiftly kick *** With an *** like that With a soul never to be silenced With rice and wine and herbs and salt of the earth With powerfully vulnerable self-aware Tsunami and koi pond share a space in your being With tea ceremony, taekwondo and a powerful girl with the face of a man you once knew Aura of violet, red and green And every experience in between Each rib and knuckle With all of your growth and all you know The way your body moves through space Intentional, each fiber strives for the language of interconnection That divine word you spell without realizing And upon being spoken, slips away Never to be taken for granted, cliche or token That ephemeral piece which science has yet to describe That peace you eternally seek That wisdom, if anybody, oh glorious you will find
