Kindred

From the collection Kindred

Kindred in spirit and mind,

I cherish you.

Reward of heavens
At the thought of you –

Akin to an oracle’s affirmation
Unto a crazed muse, and
A muse’s inspiration
Unto an inhibited scribe –

I leap in flow
Like a river into an ocean,
Blessedly rejoicing
Our multiplicities of
Connected incarnations,
Pleasantly resounding,
In awe,
In grace.

Kindred in spirit and mind,

I cherish you.
