AND YET…
Between the orbs of day and night,
Between the sighs and muffled moans,
While my fingers caress your hair,
And all of life and death is there;
While passions fly with sweet delight
And all my thoughts are born by you
In places precious to our touch –
Demanding we are joined, my Dear –
Then am I swept to brilliant gold,
Where fields and trees have perfect hue,
And sky is coloured by your eyes:
Why even birds their wings unfold
And sing joyous about we two.
For every thing is perfect there
In a time to simply, just behold;
In that moment you and I create
Between the flesh and spirit state
Where comes the moment I beget
To bring that brief, divine escape,
Besought to never end…. And yet…

We seem to support one another with comments, don’t we?
Dougie, as always, I am very grateful for you having taken the time to say what you thought after reading this piece. You used the expression ‘moved me’ – and that pleases me because it suggests my words did more than just get read!
Thank you again, Dougie.
Blessings and love in return, my friend.

Hello, Bhi. Well, you are exceptionally generous in your analysis. The way it came into my mind allows me to think it was certainly inspired by spirit. Can you imagine the quality and value of poetry if we were able to be connected whenever we wish!
Thank you for taking the time to comment, it is GREATLY appreciated.

Allen, I believe in a universal consciousness to which we are connected. If you think about how humanity advances and makes new discoveries; the first time is the hardest and subsequently the same piece of new knowledge/insight springs up in different places as if the pathway has been opened and everyone can now plug into it. A fascinating series of experiments were done in the 60’s and 70’s and there is a book called the Tao of Physics which looks at this phenomenon and others in detail. The greatest drivers are the desire for the new and the openness to… Read more »
Bhi,
Ditto as far as universal consciousness is concerned, and yes I know of experiments and analysis of where and when persons on the planet ‘receive’/’conceive’ what are the same new ideas in principle. All part of the great mystery isn’t it.
