Awakening……

 

Some mornings I awake disoriented, lost

Wondering where I am in the great expanse called life.

It takes a moment of sorting through sleepy thoughts

To recognize who and where I am.

During those quiet moments

In the hazy dawn

I also recognize what my soul’s desire is.

It speaks louder than the rest.

I’ve heard its voice often in the misty morning stillness.

And I snuggle deeper into the warmth only my bedding is offering

Remembering dreams that speak of my soul’s longing.

Sometimes feeling lost.

Sometimes feeling anticipation.

Knowing my soul will seek and eventually find it’s nourishment.

Only wanting it now.

And some mornings,

If the dreams have left my soul desperately hungry,

I despair of finding that missing piece of myself.

I know it so well.

Ah…to awake with my lover’s warmth next to me

And know it was he I dreamed of.

The one who cherishes me,

And who protects me,

And who loves me without condition.

The one who knows the child within myself

But also the passionate woman

And who makes love to

And touches both.

I’ve always known him….

The one who can make eternity stand still

As I listen to each heartbeat

My head resting on his chest

As he cradles me in his arms

And weaves poetic magic

Through my life with his words of love.

He is my soul mate…

My very soul.

For a person is never complete alone.

And he knows that the soul-bond

Is more than a gift,

It is something that must be sought.

Together we will see the world

Through each other’s eyes

And become one with all of creation

Through the love we create together.

Our hearts

Our passions

As one.

My dream….

I know it so well.

My dream is you....
