A thousand drum beats conveying a cadence through your chest
Your heart doesn’t know which way is up
Oxygen is obsolete as you pleasantly struggle to catch your breath
Your mind is racing on a speedway of peace
As you try to remember life before…this
You toggle with your memories and thoughts of “what was I even doing before?”
When did everything begin to make sense?
When did this happen?
Rumi proclaimed, “the beauty you see in me is a reflection of you“
What a blessing it is to be graced with this abundance of pulchritude
All for me
And to share my inner universe with you
It’s all too consuming but yet not merely enough
It’s all encompassing yet easy to slip away
Strong enough to withstand yet delicate
The beauty of it all rests within every soul
Waiting to be received and to be given
Freely
No restrictions, no boundaries, no falsehoods
Pure, wild, ecstatic, unfiltered
