Lovers

We are the sun, the earth, a dreamy heaven's mind.
We are the forest, the trees, the water sweet.
We are the taste of love, running long and deep.

We are the dreaming flesh of God, the prayers of the world.
We are the darkness dreaming, we are all our dreams have longed to seek.

We are the endless flaming sun, the wat'ry moon.
We are the seed of the earth and her ever-loving womb.

We are the flesh of god made whole,
We are the all embracing forms and emptiness beyond the deepest place we know.
We are the dream of a waking sleep
We are the taste of water running soft and deep

We are the sun and the soul of the Earth
We are the dream to which she is giving birth.

We are the trees, the forest, its roots.

We are the sweet world of sleep together born,
the new dawn with its lovely breathing morn.

We are the soul of time forsworn.
We are the taste of love run long and deep
We are each other's promises to keep.

Wrote this one for a man who was my beloved and partner, for a handful of strong years. Loved him a whole bunch. yup. Was a Christmas present poem, at one point. Somewhere in the middle of those years. We were in Ottawa, at his folk's place. I remember his eyes, as I read it to him. Felt so loved. I really like this one.
