AWAKE

Lazuli my Love,
our beginnings have frosted.

Lifetimes have melted
thousands of years—become one Summer.

Your seasons are long
enduring and powerful…

You sleep like an Angel
frozen caught glimpse
at the Depths of the Earth’s sky.

Pieces of you inhabit me
pieces so sharp, every movement

pierces me…

This pain of Living
has been in your Memory

This pain of Power
in the Loss that is Love.

This pain that is Condensed
in the Deep Blue that is you

You have been saving yourself
for Eternity

that is why

open your eyes

Lazuli…

open and see me

as the golden flint

and fire

emancipating

its dust

this lust

within you.
