Fall Equinox 2011
SEPTEMBER 23, 2011
Vessel of nights growing longer
as I hold the pinpoint of sun
close to my heart
where I yearn
this time of falling
for your sweet touch
and kiss
and the way your heart
beat beneath my hand
and close to my own heart...
Where I hear
you walk up the stairs
to greet me
in this evening that grows ever darker...
So I can walk
this path of balance
into the day
that will lengthen
even as it shortens
in this moment as
I pause,
remember,
and walk on deeper
into this falling day of life...
Thank you Chaela
for reminding me to walk the zen path...
