I have grappled with the question
of a lover
and would i choose the man or
human who
treats me well over the one who
feels me, ignites me-
would i choose that good over
this desire ?
And what i am finding is
the balance of those things.
It is wise to be cautious
with fire;
to have warmth and not burn,
to have light and not destruction.
To burn slowly
and not burn out,
to let the flame run its course;
and when the time has come,
to fade
to a soft glow,
to flicker and crackle
and let go.

be longing
I belong
to the endless brilliance
of energy,
I belong to the ache
I belong to the silences between
strangers;
and the intimacy
I belong to the spirit moving
through all things,
the atoms which are me but are not
mine;
slowly life is teaching me
to feel the infinite heat
of all beings
and so I say, with utmost wonder
I am glad that I am here.
