Overflow
By Jessica Farley
My heart is Spring
And I am green in love
Soft like sunshine
seeing through obscurity into the light that you carry within
compassion is my bridge, I sail into you
through your suffering I release my heart
through your darkness I am born into the morning of love
I am here with you and you are beautiful
This is the hour-glass bottle-neck
I am poured into a new being
Fresh like the self I was before I was self
and birthed in enlightened eyes I
see a vulnerable caress,
a gaping wound,
a bloody hand
a tear-stained man
I am beyond and within in a canvas,
unraveled poetry in paint-brush strokes
fading through time we are captured in
a fading hour when only the sublime remains
I am bursting forth from a narrative and
you are arriving in my consciousness
We walk a way and left behind
is the breath on the wind
of our running too fast
still vibrating in the
I pause,
I recollect my awe and travel
this thread leads me into bareness and where
there is the only place for emptiness
an emptiness, a long sought return,
a feet up head back sojourn into essence
