Choose Alpha and Omega Unity

That mind of yours

met me chest-deep in memories

pulled up a chair

and reached maximum integration

in seconds

Exercised patience

followed by well-disciplined restraint

before you questioned

Did not even blink

when I said

Thanks

but no thanks

Gave space

Respectful like that

Warrior King not weakling

Successful like that

Received a tentative offer of friendship

Let it breathe

stretch

settle

seed

A natural union

while destinies wreathe

combined paths of separate purpose

into breath-giving artistry

absent road maps

and now here come you

ecstasy-giddy

after two weeks in Curaçao

stone-stunned

over first positive pregnancy test

Two years later

in awe at second

Starshine brimming over love’s re-emergence

Laughed to tears

when they were twins

Caressed my tired to restoration

Laid your calm

across the cleft of my back and

prayed

for inexhaustible communion

then

with a quiet reverence

exhaled

refined soul

Author’s Note:-

Perhaps commitment isn’t in the definition, but in reality a comprehensive way of living that spills outside the confines of what we individually think it is. From this perspective, it can be seen as more seamless and easy, less compartmentalized and arduous. There is the ‘union faithfulness’ of man and woman, but also community with nature, humanity and cosmos etc., etc.

What if where we struggle in one arena is a smaller fragment of a 360 degree view enshrined in Universal Law that holds no concept of division?

Essentially, we cannot successfully have commitment with each other, if we don’t have that same dedication level with the plants and animals, the earth, or the (fill in the blank too numerous to contain everything that could go in it.)

Just a few thoughts while pulling strands of this poem together…
