Stream Crossed Moon

When it comes is the right time

‍

It is waiting in the current

Sound its signature presence

A music from young childhood, first taste of bread

Each black berry outlined in green light

You the forcefield embrace channeling life

‍

I stood before you uncertain & grew

Wavering rings around the visible band

You tended the center where love knows itself

As a polyphonous abundant choral us

‍

One river cleaving through one mountain

Each time I wake up

This sparrow melisma is here

‍

Lay in the barrow boat with my golden nothing

If you wish to find me, listen

Imagine a dark form in flight

Aspirate simply & let air carry you inward

‍

It reflects you at the moment you look

Eyes earth heart water

Hieroglyph of animal thirst

‍

Where spring is blocked, sit awhile & listen

In this company of soaring cloud

Now is never alone
