Delight Songs 1&2

1

I have been as the sage, baking in the noon desert sun
I have been crisp like an apple falling into juice
I have been the light of the full moon waking you up
I have been the kiss on the center of your palm

Now I am in the wind through the branches
Now I am the rain on the roof
Now I am bird song in the morning

I have been flying in my dreams
Now I am wheeling on the ground

I am stomping a deep and true rhythm, sitting in the pocket of your song.
I am singing. I am sitting.
I become bigger than myself.
I become clouds on fire.
You become the texture of silk.
You would know me then.
You are the sun at my back.
You would know me then.
You are birds flying.
You know me.
You are sweet red wine.
You are dancing beside me.
We are looking into each other's eyes.
I am moving you
without touching you.

I stared
at your hands
mystified
that the world
could create
such beauty

What else
could I do
but fall
and kiss
the ground?
