WE SEE EACH OTHER

As grace has struck time with your thoughts and your words
I fell like stone released from countless years mortared to a bridge or wall.

The hole that is left on wall bears my name:
holds the shape of my soul, to tell everyone that “Emptiness has lain here.”
For I have left my old self, in order to be
with you.

And if the time ticks slow, it is because it is forever moving by the force of hands:
the Hands of humankind that knows no difference between coal and flame,
to such a human, they have no quality of life—
therefore shall never seek your Beauty: which I have fallen out of an old life
to be planted anew.

You are the Seed humans call Love,
yet they know not Love; they know only stumbling feet and cluttered thoughts proclaiming decorum of their soul—or what they perceive to be a Soul—if only they had one.

You are that which has grown out of Winter
and when your eyes lift—Day comes: you invent the days, you bear Life to others.

And when your Mouth opens wide—you have nothing more to say,
you are only opening it to reflect other’s Hunger…
you mirror to them all that they long for
and that which they have none.

But with closed lips—I love you the best,
I like to see you as if closing life to meet death
I like to see you mourn for the loss of life that fails each day
to awaken the desperate ones.

When you lay my love, your Silence makes me weak,
makes me lower myself like a child
as I raise myself up to the world to see through you…
clouds now seat behind the landscape one calls life:

those on the Land see the earth and sky
but you and I, when I covet your breath against the sun:

We melt as one.

We see not Love with madness and acts of delirious Charm.

We see Each Other, and that is why there is nothing else.

We see Each Other, for which existence rots with Shame.

About this poem:

This is a documentation than a poem. It is an account of an experience, a vision that appeared in a dream. It documents the experience of Angels and angelic or divine love.
