opening

Afternoon is soft green and sinking

all around there is quiet

not a soul to be found

but here you and I stay close

listening quietly

to each other’s hearts

beating

marking out time.

There is a stress that is fading away now

I feel its echoes

losing power.

There is a voice within now

that answers with love.

And even as my reality

spins yet again on its axis

I know the best way is to trust

some kind of opening is happening

I do not have a clue where it will take me

but I am ready trust

and let go absolutely

of the past.
