I rest , slightly out of breath
Floating ...
In a little canoe carved with etched markings of ancient tradition - native - to mama earths paintbrush
Offering my naked body sleek with a slight sheen of daytime heat,
my face shadowed by the brim of a banana tree leaf sombrero ,
Lazily drifting into giant Lilly pads , lotus flowers spring up , rich sumptuous yellow suns adorned with skins of deep purple petals
Where I go , I don't know - Rivers leads the way
Curvaceous as my curls the water meanders into Lake Meru
Gently disturbing the pristine reflections of misty cloud mountains
Ripples cascade into the placid watery depths as I dock in where the river meets land , to find the seven nymphs waiting , to guide me home.
All this time , woven into a shirt that is iradeccent as the halo around lady moon as night falls across the vally.
The last drops of sunset burning orange adorn my locks ,
Fire light calls and beckons , dancing flames whisper sensual pleasures and lick my skin leaving residual memories of rooftop nights , but , today we lie on the earthen - hearth falling asleep to the cradling , rocking rhythm that is
Sacred lullaby
Notes got us high on paper wings
Leave these flesh bodies in favour
Of ethereal
And father sky's cloud kingdom - star shine
Coats each kiss in bioluminescence
Forget cloud 9 , this , I, heaven on earth
When we return , bodies paired with dew
Under the blanket of sunrise
Serene
I have drunk from the mountain stream
Clean , clear , free.
Written first by hand, an enjoyable process under the overhang of lightning without thunder
