Peace Prayer

If now is your time in this final threshold between life and death, then this is our passion time, remembered past torn from imaged future. I cannot bear this burden this loss this relinquishment of relationship in which wealth fully invests in knowing and growing our love together. If now is our time, I would accompany you embrace you full bodied with these emphatic tears of sad sacred gratitude for all we have been togathering. Not needing, in this transition, to bear tomorrow's weight adjusting to a crippling hole in my holy heart, gaping mind, useless body unable to touch you with voice and impassioned loving choice. If now is your time to depart, then we leave together as far as our compassionate bodies our co-emphatic minds can yet embrace this eternal reverent severance space Slow dancing, soft breathing in-between silent mortal dusk and immortal dawn of disembodied love Becoming, already, and much too soon, some new emergent rebirth of divine memories within As without, touched by grace written across each face in which I may search for your cherished trace of reconnection to this soulful time and transition place Interceding prayers between daylight's empowering life and twilight's disengaging death apart.
