Tell me tales of love

Tell me tales of love

I am a weary traveller

let me rest a while beside your firelight

as I soak in the healing of light

cast by a canopy of stars

Take me away to the wild places

of dreaming

which exist below this hollowed out day world

devoid of touch

There is a part of my body aching

for this

the healing love of the earth mother

And for stories of those who surrendered

reason completely

to find the path to their hearts

even if they found there

a wild and tangled nest

of fevered longings and thwarted imaginings

give it all a voice

for my very being is

starving to hear these

restless tales of love
