One Day

One day, you'll wake
to a distant singing
as far as memory
as close as pain
as intimate as skin, when
you lick the salt to taste the sea
you refused to wash away

One day, it will be clear
that the holy of holies
is you. That there is nothing
more mysterious
than being alive.

Some say, it's just a prelude.
The real song
comes after.

I say, the miracle
is now. As sweet as
air. Listen, now,
how the heart twangs
to keep its beat.

Until then, courage.
You'll need it, here,
until you learn to dance. Until
you've heard the song,
and the music takes you.

Things will seem pretty drastic,
meanwhile.

This is wonderful and danceable and delicious! My heart did twang. And the last stanza is the best.

The last couple of days have not been great, or even good, for no reason that's of any significance.

But this, made it all much better.

Thank you for posting it.

aw, hon... *hugs*... that's just... I write for myself, you see, because something has to come out. To have it make someone's day better, that's just crazy wonderful, yanno? Thanks for letting me know, and hope your days improve.

this was wonderful, simply wonderful.

tomorrow's going to be a long, arduous day followed closely by another long day, followed by a tedious (and long) weekend. I plan on printing your poem & taking it along to remind me to smile, and appreciate the miracle of being alive.

thank you so very much for sharing your talent! {{{{devo}}}}

Devo!!
Work being pretty "drastic" around here I have been totally out of touch. But for some reason I made time to check my flist tonight and now I know why -- to read your poem. Huge hugs!! This is just wonderful. I espceially grocked the last line *g* {{{thank you}}}

Yeah, that last line really seems to be resonating. Because, yeah, life really is like that sometimes. Here's to hearing the song, nonetheless. *hugs* Glad you liked it.
