Inside the Longing

Bow Lake, the Rockies, Summer 2018

Here
In the Longing
Just Here
In the Longing for YOU
I feel
And look

Warm
Deep inside
Raw
Quiet
Here
Inside

In the Longing
It hurts
Feels sad

Don't leave me
The Longing says
Here
Just Here
Inside
Feel
And look 

I'm scared
What is there
In the Longing?

'Cos
I'm Here
YOU are there!

That's why I long for YOU
It hurts!

But...

What if YOU
Are the Longing?

YOU

Here

Inside

Quiet

Raw

Real

Everything YOU long for you've already found, my Love
Says the Longing

I dare to feel
I dare to look

YOU offer me your hand

I see
 A mirror
A watery reflection
The hand reaches out 
Touches 
The Rawness

Then
Words disintegrate
Sink to the bottom of the lake
Too heavy they are

And I float in the Silvery Soothingness

Feeling

Looking

Just
 
 Here
 
 
 
 Inside the Longing
