Hush

I split these neurons in a huff

A spiritual hush

Spilling out of the back of my head

Interconnected

Vivid vines interwoven

An embarrassment of riches

A devil's delight

All fire and smoking

Hungry lines intersecting

Diverged prospecting

Expecting a kind of divine redemption

A parting of the waters

A meeting of the minds

And thoughts

The hands of God

And a galloping heart

Break for me upon the shoreline

Tangled in a fisher's net

Thick with lust and desperate torment

Make for me a beastly nest

Descend upon this mountaintop

I have waited patiently for rain

For the Goddess's mouth to open up

And my cup to runneth o'er

We may paint such daring colors

Only if we seek the truth

Under skin and locked in towers

Walls must fall for me and you

What part of this occluded secret?

This hidden delicate refrain

Is so elusive as I wander

Through lyrics bleeding from my brain?

Built of Heaven's worldly splendor

A contradiction, imperfect piece

It fits together all the same

Begging for a true release

For a death most equal

A moment without ego

Where I go, you go, we go

Up in smoke

Into the endless skies within

Your eyes, your sin

Uncovered and

Never unclean

We may dare ourselves to dream

Of atoms lost in voids of dust

Now gathering like a storm

Accreting like the world itself

Migratory stories linger

Across memories of a flowered love

Not possessed of any human being

But a fire like plutonium

I peer beneath and see an angel

I walk with you and hear a song

I seek with you a deeper measure

I haunt you like a ghost 'til dawn

A second sight

A far-flung secret

A sacrament

Between us both

For a life most lived

A truer love

Where I go, you go, we go

Interconnected

Hush
