Awakening

Open eyes
toward the round
luminescent moon
unable to tell
if she is in reach
or simply
largely
hovering just too far

Connect the dots
among the stars
the trail
tear stained
and slightly
blurry
through the haze
of disbelief

Acceptance
is my freedom
the key
to release

Still other stars
as far as the heavens
stretch
to touch my tongue to
so very tactile
soft and warm
and open
if the weather is right
and you can be still
with me
in the moment

Light is scattered
dance from place to place
touching hearts
leaving traces
of sweet encounters
never once falling
from the orbit
of the sun
on this journey
to enlightenment

Awaiting
passion
to uncontrollably
spontaneously
and with dramatic crescendo
rip apart my soul
and create me anew
awakened
whole
