My heart is a winding
painted canyon
carved by my Beloved.
I followed her echo
out to the ocean
And below Her surface
I dove.
I emptied myself
into Her depths,
beneath the currents
of unspoken worlds
and breathless I rose,
Her eyes, my pearls.
Her lips, the wings
of an albatross
we sheered crested waves,
kissed in halcyon
above deep parted canyons
and then beyond.
