SOLID CLOUDS ©Rebecca Wave

I wake to the flutter of
    Wings in my face,
Stirred by the wind of
    Amazing grace.
Each time I stumbled on every
    Root along the ground,
Now I catch the warmer currents
    'Til the cold air brings me down.

These solid clouds of love we are,
    Shifting in a constant sky,
Touching earth remind me that I know
    I've seen you in a crowded world before.

I read your body
    Like a history,
I've learned your ancient battles
    In the sailing of your seas.
Your words are artifacts,
    The culture of your soul,
Like poetry uncovered
    In a broken bowl.

So long,
     I'll be seeing you.
Dance forever in the
    Moment that we know,
Gesture to the stars and
    Home again we go.

I sleep in the hollow of your
    Shoulder and your breast,
Riding your heartbeat
    In the trough and crest.
The caring for the children
    And the bearing of the light
Carry us on
    Into the day and night.

These solid clouds…
