Embrace me, take me within you, consume me –
\nRemind me how each heartbeat anchors me to reality
\nRemind me how the finiteness of moments bellow testament to life
\nRemind me how to breathe
\nAnd cleanse me as I fly, staring off into the impossible beyond
\nBefore diving down into what infinity HAS to feel like,
\nPalpable patience punctuated by stirred sensations<\/p>\n
You are the vector of disease and cleanser of souls
\nHarbinger of illness and decay, suffocant of humans,
\nWe who are simply slightly evolved simians, ignorance-bathed,
\nReaching for the stars from gutters between
\nFacades etched by you, your falling grace, powerful
\nObliterator of rocks, stone-shaping magician,
\nEarth carving blade, precious you are to us, too
\nYou are justice manifest, symbolic in your structure,
\nEquilibrium and purity necessary for creation’s will<\/p>\n
You are not turbulence here; here you are calm, poised;
\nImmense,
\nIrreverent,
\nEternal.
\nYou watch me with admiration as I use you to explore my depths
\nAs I probe yours
\nComforted, knowing that I am home within you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
