CALLA LILLY SPELL      (2-14-03; San Miguel De Allende, Mexico)

 
 
i slept so well  
     last night
surrendered to
     transcendent depths
secure contented heart
     held deep
in softest warmth
     sensual folds
sun dried sheets
     around my flesh
my sleeping form
     golden stamen
deep at center
     this great flower
calla lilly bed
     before i fully awake
i pull thin white lip
     outer curve of petal
up over face and head
     to say morning prayers
then slowy open eyes
     to opaque light
early morning san miguel
     filtering in
through high thread count
     white cotton percale
stillness in silent peace
     i felt like moonstone
looking out from self
     into diffuse luminosity
early mornings calm
     in gentle light
i think about
     open adventure
the day ahead
     waits with magic  
just outside
     pre bloom glow
my dreaming shroud
     in knowing this light
of rising sun
     i slowly curl open
intimate petals
     calla lilly bed
ready once more
     another new day
i pick myself up
     like a freshly cut flower
my hungry heart
     so ready to devour
more of the colorful
     passion and beauty
guess im just  
     another calla lilly
new bloom here myself
     unexpectedly entranced  
by some unforeseen  
     magical spell
here in these hilly
     cobblestone streets
of  beautiful san miguel
     where upon further
unfolding the soft
     outer  white petals  
of my calla lilly bed
     i stand up naked
to greet the sun
     then slowly stretch
my body and bones
     knowing my full on
bloomings begun
     in eager embrace
of this wondrously vital
     new day ahead
