You asked me if I could if you were not
And at the utterance of your words
 the drum that beat so steadily beneath my breast
paused in its rhythmic journey
a moment that spanned an eternity
***
I felt the life force rushed from my being
Leaving me weak, afraid and vulnerable
How do I respond to your question
Will my words in their simplicity divulge that which has remain beyond the realm of human understanding
****

Will the ocean be the same without the waves thunderously rising and falling
Much like the movement of my breast in response to the beat of my heart
Will the days be the same without the warm caress of the midday sun
as she wraps warm kisses around the earth
Will the night sky remain the same without the stars as they guide sister moon to her resting place
****
It those Divine Creations are able to remain as they are now
Unchanged by the absence of that which makes them unique and complete
Then I too will be as I am now if you were not.
