Covenant

When you knock, ask to see God — none of the servants. - Thoreau

.

flanked by alternating pillars of smoke and fire

orbiting life both day and night

oblivious to reason

overflowing in a reservoir of limpid love

in perfect obscurity

on liquid clouds

our spirits met

our souls touched

.

we met the moon and introduced the stratosphere

bound only by an oath of melody

drinking at an oasis of divinity

clinging to threads of tired flesh

plucking strings of galvanic, steel rejuvenation

reaching for faith and love

hitchhiking on adroit, clandestine stars

.

risking revolution

chancing time

destination heaven

no stops

no transfers

no reservation

arriving with doubting thomas

.

holding nothing but a promise

.

.

.

Author's Note

"It's only by forgetting yourself that you draw near to God." - Thoreau

again, the brilliance of your talent, of your mind, feelings, awareness is fascinating! what it takes from us to be in our higher being than just "bare" us?! the divine loves us as us, it doesn't judge, it doesn't hate, it doesn't complain, it doesn't betray, it takes as we are, are we taking ourselves the same? superb dear Pete, superb...

you speak an unequivocal truth. a creation of nothing but simple truth and love asking the same in return. we have only ourselves to blame. is all there for the taking through faith ... :)
