Somewhere, perhaps ––
in fields of lavender or a forest 

of barren trees bursting full with light ––
will come a moment of radiance, transcendent

and the stunning realization that, maybe,
even as I searched everywhere, passing
through a thousand doors in time,
turning the world upside down,
turning myself inside out,
giving my whole heart
to follow, follow you, 

you were with me
all the while and I
now, here,
with you. 



So maybe --
standing still in the clearing
in the breath between what’s next

and the miracle heartbeat of this now ––
maybe, even still, it is true 

that I am held in love
because Love
is who I am.
And more:
