sky

beyond me.

i see you
with the wind, the waters, the earth..... ahead, beneath and above.
my eyes, my only friend. penetrating the gloss, giving you more than a glance.

i touch you
all i feel is the emptiness of distance, both space and time.
still i feel your strength with your softness. rough but calm.

i smell you
of sea and wood. spice and leather. fresh baked bread.
surrounding my wholeness, seeking inside.

i hear you
asking me, i answer but you cannot hear.
your voice, not just for me.

i taste you
honeyed and salted and strong
sweetness enfolded in brown.

all mine

in my mind. beyond me.
