6: 17:  Angel At Dusk

Excerpt 17 from Journal 6, 'Becoming My True Love'
   -From 'Journals To My True Love, Part 2'

My Love, I saw you at the dawn of time, how you shone...
How you arose to greet me like the sun, in pure wholeness...
How my heart was the pure, receptive soil, the garden-in-waiting...
And how it already held your seed...
How fertile and ready to recieve your warmth...
The gift was borne, you; my gift to the world...
How I gave you away unselfishly knowing the ties would
   never be broken, though strained...
And I was right... You have returned to me at dusk,
   our entrance to night...
How, when I sleep, beside me you sleep too...
I even feel your breath, my child...
I feel your heart against mine...
I know, by this that I approach the darkest hour...
The angel comes and appears only when most needed
   and stays as long as necessary...
You breathe into me when I am breathless, you absorb
   my worries when they become too much...
You appear when I so lack vision and so disappear
   when I am fulfilled...
My Love, you have been such company in the dark hours,
   the lonely ones...
Such inspiration when I was uninspired...
You became my heart to rescue it from sinking...
As your story became mine, I was cradled in the safety
   net of you even as my madness tore holes in it it held strong...
I am ok because of you...
You glow bright in darkness to show me the way...
You help me face my fears of love to overcome them...
In death you become eternal life and hope...
Your purity forgives my sin...
Your naiivete reverses my anger...
And in you I am cleansed...
You are the water I bathe my soul in to be reborn...
And the waters are deep and dark and placid at dusk...
