The Tuning

Spring 2006

I heard the tuning yesterday,
I felt the music rise’n in me–
Gently reaching into the signatures of time.

You and I lived before,
And at once on time’s fringe deserting,
Through tears, said our goodbyes.

Somewhere where kings were kingly
And Queens were adorned with PURIST RADIANT light.

We played as children.
Our eyes were set.
Together we would meet on emerald shores of destiny.

We tore our wings and bore our hearts to the foreign land.

Today the echo reminds us of the tearing–
Two souls flown apart by light years
And content in waiting with familiar souls

Departed the array.

Transforming light into flesh and blood–
Creating vessels to wake
Every morning, afternoon and evening in lands anew.

For few have ever loved as they.
Being once on time’s fringe deserting,
They romanced the other.

Naked, flailing bodies of perfect proportion
Consumed each other.

Angelic faces and kingly crowns
Shown brightly dancing one timeless time.
