I returned to the arms of my ghosts,
to my rainbows & youthful dreams,
the world was open to me then, & yesterday
was as bright as tomorrow, I was the child
of a cosmic storm that scattered Light across
the endless waters, I saw the past & the future
& in the silence between my heartbeats I heard
the truth of my magic, the night was mine & the air
was pure, aching with the crystal clarity I saw once
& then forever, I embraced where I stood, in the dust
& the dirt & the glory of the endless conflagration
of the sun, I came to you then, in the serene beauty
of your Spirit, in the sanctity of your starlit body,
whispers still had meaning, & the brush of trembling
fingers exploring perfect flesh, we were the Visions
that seemed truly endless, beyond the touch of mere
mortality, we flew down the ancient highway, always
dancing, always cleansed by the mercy of the endless rains
& the gusts of Light upon the mountains, we rode forward,
always, soft as a lover's kiss, deep as a Lover's thrust,
I knew who I was & I finally understood, right there
at the beginning, the meaning & the purpose, age had
no hold on me, nor the great wheeling of the constellations,
except as my arrow of Ecstasy, firm, true,
& unwavering in flight...
