Living the Dream

Here is what held my heart for you;
these sacred things that comforted me
until ~
once upon an answered dream,
the sky opened and said I was ready
for you ~  and you for me ~

This is my heart, beating with love,
these walls ready to enfold you,
that sound, a drum of our commonality.

Enter here, knowing I have prepared
this way for our gathering; made good
of myself for this chance finding.

Come, sit by this fire, enter this lodge,
knowing it has waited forever for you.

It will weep.  It has longed for you so.

My sister, I have much to learn from you;
dear things, that you could
have taught me, shared with me,
as we grew up ~

I am in need of your tutelage.
Drawn near me and we shall share
all the secrets we have held for each other.

You knew about me since I was born ~
I am only learning of you now, older sister.

Let me trace your face, so common to mine ~
for as long as we can touch.

I will hold you forever.  You are mine and I am yours ~

Sister!

Listen, our heartbeats match.

***  she is in the sky as I post this, coming to visit me for the first time.
