can you hear me?

Once in a nanosecond, galaxies form hearts in the universe.

Out of the black, bright stars flicker sparks.

Inspiring us earthlings to find them and call their names.

As if to be known among grains of sand on beaches where waves

slam barrels on sand, twirling turbulent specks of shells on the shore.

Screaming to be discovered like a sunrise in a shell, or rather, a Sunrise Shell

From the dark, quiet hearts bleed rainbow colors

Unashamed of their brilliant blush

Completely unaware of the beautiful chaos created.

When faith over-rules science

When hope bridges gaps of the unknown…

and when my intentional love finds you in space-spinning

in a spiral hourglass of glittery stars

with half-lives beyond my comprehension-

I long for your embrace

to connect harder and stronger than

any star can explode.

to form an eternal bond blessed by the Grand Conductor of Life

the Virtuoso of Truth

the Master Artist with his universal easel

brushing breath into life

creating color on his canvas-

granting us once in a lifetime engagement

to continue his mission of spreading

love throughout the solar system!

Out of the quiet, I play horns and trumpets,

sending you sound waves of dramatic thunder,

realizing my purpose on earth, hoping

they find your soft ears, resonating amore back to me on this cold planet.

Far from earth, I hear you sending back messages of enchantment,

telescopically announcing that you have received my call.
