Haiku

I wander into

Your body that is shadow

Light begets patience

Desire is here now

Powerful and beautiful

Deep down inside me

Within is clay warm

You touch me soft and it blends

A rainbow I am

And your darkness makes

My soul bend into shadow

Gray and brown it grounds

I become earth like

No longer lost in dreaming

Scorching light and fire

Together entwined

Both of us united strong

Becoming alone

Nothing is peaceful

Serenity and growing

I crave your shadow

Emptiness and room

In all of the open space

Expanding presence

Somehow I am found

In darkness nothing alone

And I realize peace

Fellowship with daath

Massive integrity free

Multitude of gift

Whether it is one

Or a google of spirits

I find unity

Thank you for presence

Thank you for your dark witness

You are magical
