Tea and Wandering

Spearmint tea

Soft bed

Crickets and traffic competing outside

Warm skin, patiently alive

Bra tired breasts finally free

Eyes that want to close 

Fingers absently twirling hair

Words doing their dance all day 

Can never catch them all 

Some spill out onto the page 

While the others scamper off giggling

Like children, hand in hand 

You don't want to want but you do

And you breathe Love

Like an ecstatic ache 

The cat purrs and the clock chimes the hour 

The fortune teller who knows everything 

But sees nothing 

And in your definitive answerlessness 

You vibrate and pulse 

Like a fuzzy bee on a flower

Woman

So long asleep

No inkling 

Of your true nature 

Power 

Ecstasy  

Creator 

Destroyer 

Love

Integrated

Embodied

Beautiful 

Goddess

And there's where it's so bizarre 

Endlessly perfect geometric variation 

All of creation alive

Breathing, vibrating as One

And you're part of it! 

We all are

You lie naked across the bed 

Twirling your hair 

Car tires, neighbors voices

And random thoughts of the day 

Popping in and out of your awareness 

Like a mental game of whack-a-mole

You aren't really certain 

If you will alter the cosmos now

Or perhaps have more tea 

Both seem quite viable
