Passionflower

Inspiration Piece

passionflower 

response

.

two tiny sparks
made of  stardust
and comets’ tails
drifted aimlessly
…each alone and lonely…

time did not exist
…existed endlessly…
until the moment
when they chanced
upon one another

consciousness
took shape…
life began…
time moved forward…
and they were lonely no more

for aeons
they joyfully danced
and sang and played
across the cosmos
always together

their friendship grew
into a deep and special love
until at last
the two sparks
became one soul

the gods had watched
fascinated yet skeptical
a decision was made
the one soul was split in half
and put into two humans on Earth

two gifts were also given ~
the souls were allowed
to be reborn over and over
and they would always
recognize one another

lifetime after lifetime passed
…each and every time…
the two souls found one another
and their love became deeper
and their connection grew stronger

finally
the gods understood
…even split into two…
neither soul was complete
without the other

in celebration
the gods created the passionflower
as a symbol to all
of  what is possible
when love is true

Inspiration piece

.

.

she gives off no light of her own
merely reflecting that of another
yet her warm glow
brings comfort to many
as she floats above

.

solitary in her journey
across the velvet skies
she listens to the songs of love
and prayers of the lost and lonely
sent to her from below

.

ever-changing in her constancy
shy in her newness
just a sliver in the sky
gorgeous in her fullness
pregnant with promise

.

she moves the tides
and hearts of men
waxing and waning
to a sonata
only she can hear

.

wrapping lovers
in moonbeams
and dreamers
in moondust
she watches over us

.

ultimate symbol of magic
inspiration
and love
weaving her spell
deep within our souls

.

deserving
of every accolade
bestowed
upon her glory
since man first looked up
