Have we talked yet
about the hard conversations
when your body refuses you
when loneliness consumes you
when every which way is no way
when abandonment keeps you victim
when you feel not enough or
maybe too much
when nothing will Ever be perfect
when death takes a beloved
when aging lies to you
when youth betrays you
when loves leave you
when dis-ease eats away at you
when death stalks you
~
Have we talked yet
about the way love finds us
in the sudden heart opening
in a flirt of an eye
at the coffee shop
in remembrance of what was
in the feeling of what Is
at that wedding
in the gentle caress
in the hard fuck
at a spiritual retreat
in an unexpected moment
in the radiance of another light
at the corner from your house
~
Have we talked yet
about our closeness to the Earth
about the way a walk in a
a forest clears the busy mind
about how trees and plants
desire our communion
about the dance of the clouds
about the rain’s heart beats
about the way the river calls you
about a murmuration
about how the fey entities know you
about moss and leaves and dirt
about noticing the song of dragonflies
about the seasons greetings
about rolling in the leaves
about swimming naked in the sea
~
Have we talked yet
about the Infinite Universe
about the magnificence of Being
about the Truth of Love
about sin and evil
about rage and joy
about the wonder of breathing
about feelings and emotions
about the Holy grail
about the nothingness and
the Everything
about how we care for each other
about kindness and grace
about the transparency of honesty
~
Have we talked yet
Because, I’d like to know you
