more
a breath away from divinity
miles away from hope
floating down
into the quiet
slip knots hold the rope
half opened eyes
seek the depths
for what was meant to be
lurking ‘neath the surface
inviting souls to see
answers in the shadows
hovering for release
to tempt another voyager
searching for that peace
there
below the silence
a siren’s call to cease
the jouney’s end
finds an open door
to nowhere
hiding dreams
of something more

Oh Butch my dear heart – somehow I feel this differently than the others I guess. Yes, I feel it’s beauty, its mystery, and its hypnotic pull. But I feel too almost as if I’m drowning in emotion, being drawn under the surface of some deep pool, on the edge of crossing over to some other plane. And while I feel the hope of “more,” it also frightens me a bit. Perhaps that’s my own claustrophobia – but the slip knots made me feel trapped somehow. Crazy huh? But as always, my darling man, your poetry shakes me to my foundations, makes me feel so much more….love it, love you, always!
not crazy dearheart… you know me well…….. and the slipknots are holding… much love……b

What pulls us more to the journey of our life…..the desire of our spirit urging us or the inquisitive nature of our mortal frame?
