I try to Keep my feet

on the ground

I try to keep my feet on the ground

But you make me fly.

I skim along the seawall

On clouds of stardust

Spinning and dipping like a surfer

Cutting back to catch

A wave of brilliant rolling diamonds

Inches above the ground

In a perfect curve.

I can ride forever along this indigo shoreline.

I put all my trust in the cosmos

And you phone.

Unleashing a vibration from my heart

To all my body.

How wonderful it is to be alive.

I will have my cells call your cells

And we’ll do lunch.

Or, we will just be together.

My knees are weak

And my body is warm,

Your voice does that to me.

Your sweetness captures my joy

And they join together in

Harmony.

This trust

Opens me to possibility

That I am strong and wonderful

Loving and kind, magnificent!

And you are my honest echo.

The feeling of potential

Mellows my soul.

You are a shining star

That’s what you are,

You’re an angel.

And I am a cosmic surfer,

So grateful for this wave.

From blissful now

From perfection,

I look for the future in my mind

I search for disaster and find it.

In the joy of a perfected moment

I attach to outcome,

To being right

To separate

To prove me not worthy

Of the love in the wave.

I lose trust in this perfect wave of diamonds

I lose the light and fall

To the tumult of sadness.

I cannot see the goddess in anything

And cry for help

And I am saved by the love in all.
