Remember Such

remember such as a time of day
that awakened thee as the morning

all hushed sensual in expectancy
embracing predawn’s reticence
when the light shifts soothing
towards thickly amber softness
sunrise

walk upon wings across the fields
on feet made of whispers and breezes

there under the setting fullness moon
that if hollowed out a vessel
could not fully hold your love
mind silent as the rising dew
heart pure and holy
alive

then all the animals, and the soil of earth
all growing things, the stones, the sky
and the very breath of the air itself
will offer forth with their soul to embrace you
become indivisible, interblended with you
be purified bursting forth as divine flame
a resplendent fire where nothing burns
nothing, not wings, not hands,
nor voices
forfeited

and by the stars and by the moons
you are then bigger even than breath
larger even than the infinite whole
quieter than the silence that holds you
and by whatever this is
this is that,
which has
awakened
you

hollow moon

remember me as a time of day

when the light shifts soothing
towards thickly amber softness

hushed sensual all in expectation
embracing twilght’s reticience

there in the rising somber moon
that if hollowed out a vessel

could not hold my love
for thee there in fullness
