I feel you at the edge of everything I know
Waiting
Calling
Silence

Why am I trapped within these walls of reality
When clearly you call from somewhere just beyond them?
If I make my way to the edge, will you come?
If I relinquish knowledge will I find you?

I stand on the brink of what divides us
Waiting
Calling
Silence

I feel you in the empty places where nothing hides
And light shines melding flesh to vapor
And there you are
And there I am

Your touch falls over me like a shadow
Feathers
Warmth
Shelter

My soul buries its face beneath your wings
I dare not move from here or look beyond them
I have entered the place where even I do not exist
Until you say I do and I say that I will for only you.

Don’t unfold your wings just yet
Don’t lay me down in time and space
Don’t go from me
Don’t go…

I linger at the edge of all that is
Longing to return
To where only you exist
The place where I knew only you

My soul yawns awakened by the dove
Cry again soul
Move in time and space
Remember the smell of His wings.

Reminds me of David's soul cry "When can we go and meet with God?" Thank you for echoing my heart's yearning. Nice job.

Such beautiful words and thoughts in this free verse for the eye and ear of the Reader; but in reality, only the writer understands what it all means.
