Fault Lines













the lines
drawn
before this birth
from fingertips
in sand and snow
that align a path
invisible
from my spirit
to yours
are fault-lines
that cause
this weary planet
to quake and quiver
during earthquakes
tsunamis
hurricanes
and mad crazed
awakenings
of Vesuvius


and like rich
molten lava
you push onward
endless
volcanic


meeting me in sweet slumber

reminding me
of what is
was
and may be


and i greet you
with open arms
hair wild
natural
wind
whipping
tresses


as your chin
rests
in the crook of my
shoulder


oh, such utter
peace


and we watch the world
we were born of


together

me
your spirit resides


an eternal yearning
met in dreams
and moments
of existential
bliss


with you
there is no
thought


an inherent
knowing
that our spirits
have met
will meet
collide like atoms
in this universe
undiscovered
like lands yet birthed
before the age of man
before languages
were spoken
when nature existed
in her
utter
holy
glory


this is where we met
the wind whispering
through pine trees
the sun loving soil
the rain drenching valleys
when lightning was born
from a solitary
cloudburst


this is how we first met
