Moved

When savage hearts are tamed.

when we traveled

we loved like birds of prey

lush valleys stretched out below in emerald folds 

and bold cottonwoods dotted the landscape to

shelter us when thunder rolled and lightning flashed

... you were warm, even when cold

my soul in flight

is a feather

wafting on the winds of mood

when we traveled

freedom was a crystal stream from which we drank

each draught a sense of soul and light

you took me beneath your wings

to tame an angry, thrumming heart

softening with each loving bite

my talons digging in

yet, still you soothed

and when we loved

rivers stretched before us in boundless blues

each coursing  wave a waterfall lapsing into reflective pools

you handle my heart in knowing ways

no earth bound soul could ever hold

so warm ...

even when a wild heart is cold

[An owl on the moon]

A vast miracle of words, this moving enchantment unfolds like a dream, and yet so wildly real. What joy that lives in union can transform each other so boundlessly. This transforming love is real.
