still life

early in the morning

needing time to breathe

soaking in the rising sun

until my eyes can see

all the visions in my mind

lighten my dense head

realizing my still life

everything stands still

deepened understanding

how did this happen

everything i've felt is true

all the love I've felt

descended on me

everything i wanted

defining my shape and form

behold me as i am

inspect my soul

touch my lips

caress my body

here I am my love
