"Over the threshold of always"

Reaping the Rainbow

for Sherry

As we sow so shall we reap
They say
And I hope it is true
Since if it is I have already
Reaped the bitter and am ready
For the better to come due

May the promises we keep
Today
Lovingly like seeds of now
Our openness to be and do
Our uttermost somehow
The works of love we do and are
Never fade away

That each spark of our light of life in spring
Ignite its happy ever aftering
To warm hard winter days
When the light is black and white all night
Reflecting and refracting through
From over the threshold of always
If what they say is right
Where beyond the shadow of doubt between
The rainbow is blooming from this side unseen

As we are reflecting and refracting too
Being and doing as me and you
The works of love we do and are
Our uttermost hoping to be as it does
Making it better hoping it stays
Better because you were and I was

I know you know I know what you mean
And if you do not remember
You know I know you know that I mean
To reap April in December
Or after others reap at least to glean
And find myself like a fallen star

It is always the end of the world
Because that is where we start
Where the living end of time lies curled
Like the tail of a cat the leading edge
Of time where what was and what is part

The ribbon we open the present by
As the paradox and privilege
Of those who are and who will be
At the end of the world like you and me
To open the present as we live and die

When all else leaves us love is what stays
Where the shadow of doubt believing between
Reveals the rainbow blooming unseen
Over the threshold of always

I found myself in the map of your skin
Traced through my fingers
And written in your hand
Receiving the rainbow
Blooming because you were and I was

And now I understand
Believing what cannot be known
At the end of the world where we begin
Receiving the seeds of now we have sown
Reaping the rainbow again and again

Over the threshold of always

This is what lingers
Love is what stays

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
