Member Poem

You carry me.

So heavy is my

Soul,

A burden on the

Soles of your feet.

Your curves

Flow like a

River to the

Sea of

Becoming.

How I have abused your

Unassuming welcome -

Ravished receptacle for my

Loss of

Faith.

You emerged from the

Womb of the

Eternal, a

Transient flourishing

Illuminating the void.

You were never mine

For the keeping -

Merely on loan to be

Returned to the

Great unknowable.

And what of me

When you go?

Are we truly divisible?

Have I shortened your stay?

Why could I not love you?

Always wishing you were

Otherwise,

Wishing away our

Time together -

Time wasted.

Now I realize

How you have loved me

How you have served me

My best friend

My self.
