"Being Love rather than giving or taking love is the only thing that provides stability. " ~Ram Das


sitting squarely on a leveled patch of grass
leaves just beginning to turn their warm crimson
guiltless, i love with all the stuff that appears
to create star clusters and the soft plaintive song
of the final dance- a dirge in a minor key

captivating all who see the lie of separateness
my love, i do not need to rush to you or declare
being left to witness dancing crows and flighty geese
it's in the holy book--says love and grappling for truth

can and do exist in a single breath of letting go
of expecting any bird who flies south before
the first frost to not be considered any less
a friend- for old souls are we

and this showing up 'neath
glowing autumn trees
will be
you and me
in no time, no place

because our love is all the time
and any place whispers
our friendship, before any window
door or mountain lake
our meeting, is no mistake
