Beyond Poem by robyn nathan

Your body will dissolve into my warmth
holding you I will travel into the river that flows with lights of night skies
into another existence
and love your deep unending depth
the coolness of your flesh on mine that brings me back here
your touch remains on my cheek
on my breast
smooth cool flesh that penetrates beyond my body
to know one

I will be in the silent stillness of my ancestors
breathing the breath of gods
breathing the stillness of being
being of spirit with spirit
it is seen
my blood given
my voice is yours imprinted on flesh
skin to bark
who better to know of stillness than that which is deep rooted in the earth

I am listening
I am that one that lived in the hollow of your roots
let us know each other again
