It is You that I desire

It is 
you
that I 
desire,

always 
and forever.

You are
a constant 
friend,
always 
with me,
always
deep 
within me.

My desire
for you
draws you
to the 
surface
of my 
awareness,

and there 
you are,

within 
me,

within 
the face
of the other,

within 
everything created

that emerges 
before
my eyes.

Summer Closes her Wings

Summer’s warmth
has begun 
to cool.

The forest’s leaves
are beginning
to turn.

Fall is opening 
her arms,
as summer closes
her wings.

The spirit
is still resisting 

the annual
and familiar
letting go

of the vibrancy
and rest
of summer.

Such resistance 
is futile.

Let go
dear spirit,
and lean in

to the ever new
and emerging,
cycle of life.
