Graceful Mourning

Life moves through my body
My breath in a perfect pause
Muscles are tense, fluid like rain
I move slowly, carefully, freely
I lose sense of noise, hear every beat
Note
Chime
I see not beyond this space
But feel your energy in my blood

Please don’t make me stop
I have not finished yet
You gave me the tree
Her sap
Her roots
My life is in her soil

The thing inside me
It’s fierce
It’s mad
Must I ignore or destroy or die?
It is all I know of desire
All I know of God
There, is the loveliness in me
Must I walk away?
I cannot
I see not beyond this space
But feel your energy in my blood
