Love silent falls
lofty floats, touches invisibly soft
unseen through the scope of eyes
comes brushing by or comes in a down pouring
wet washing the soul, unwavering, wordless it unfolds
travels most rugged terrain, then smooths the way
there is no season for its efflorescence
it sits a silent bud any moment to flower
always we've known it's fragrance
it is the way, the path
a flitting ethereal flower
deeply felt, though in hand
never grasped.

sometimes your body wavers
becomes transparent as light

yet still somewhere
solid lovely flesh

in such moments
contradictions define us

and distance casts a shadow
black as lonely night

but we shall keep trying
until we get it right

until flesh and light
merge simply into living sight

and together becomes
a wholeness of delight

  ~mce

You may never touch the stars,
        but your life will be infinitely better
if you reach for them anyway.

i.

Settle me down
Tuck me in;
Kiss mine cheek
Put me to bed.

ii.

Closeth thy lid's
Then I'll closeth mine;
Goodnight mine Jane
Seeith thee in the morn'

iii.

Goodnight
O' here cometh the sun;
Awake, awake,
Mine chosen one.
