This is what it’s like


This is what it’s like

 

to love each other generously

with our hands full of joy

and our hearts beating

with the rhythm of the Earth.

 

To dance well past the sunrise

as we inhale the morning crispiness

and the fire slows its frenzy.

 

To embark on a kaleidoscopic journey

full of gleaming stardust

and bursting blooms in the sky,

of effervescent vibrancy

and all things magical,

of radical unravelling.

 

To softly land on a warm embrace

as the music quiets down

and the barriers mellow,

as we flowingly transition

from “you” and “I” towards “us”.

 

To find complicity beyond our individual identities,

to feel gratitude beyond language,

to hold space beyond the physical.

 

To stay suspended in the air, 

holding onto the present moment,

as time becomes weightless…

Our bodies humming a familiar melody,

shared by the whole humanity.
