the Vibration

I think perhaps I am dreaming right now,
The story changes it shape
It curls until it has flipped over

The paths before me turn to water

I do not recognize this life,
Save for a few key characters
And the sound of my own voice

Newness

I know it is holy
I feel it

And still I get lost here,
The million bleary memories seem more real to me than this,
This day and this hour
of complete joy.

Joy which is complete as a protein is complete
Atomic assimilation of joy into my chromosomes
Of thank you of darling of how beautiful and Yes

Come closer to me
the crest of all this hoping
is upon me-
I have been reaching
Stretching to pain
For this

For the reconciling of all I have loved and lost
Into one
steady
Rhythm
