A UNION OF SOULS
See a moon
A grey, stoney face rising
Suddenly receiving the light of a distant star
And illuminating to a brilliant yellow light
and it cannot hold that light in
it must share it
And it beams back, into a dark space
Through a shimmering atmosphere around our planet
A beam moving across the edges of clouds
Striking the tallest of trees
Casting shadows
Shimmering across waves of wheat and barley
Reflecting against every ripple of every body of water
Its beam shimmering like hundreds of thousands of moons against the frost and snow
A beam seeking your window
And lighting upon two bodies
Two lovers standing naked in the brilliant light
Shoulders, faces illuminated
Looking upwards at that light descended from heaven
And feeling like there can be no light as great as the one between them
He sees you in this light
And lifts your chin upwards
Your face capturing the full glory of this beam
Your face beaming itself
And he leans down
And meets your lips
And in that simple touch of body to body
A union is made
A light greater than any a sun can shine or a moon can reflect
And that kiss is an eternity
A slow, giving, receiving, gentle, passionate, deep, lasting, longing, ever being kiss!
