As the clouds melt away
to the rosy glow of dusk
the man and maid bathed
from these raindrops softly warm
 
Ravn flies with cover of night
clutched in her beak and talons
the cover of sprinkled twinkling stars
overflowed -
                        lake waters recede from pregnant banks
 
All creatures great and small
retreat
leave in private
these the focus of celebration - celebrated
                                                 celebrating
 
Cricket - owl - wolf and wind cease
their music
for greater crescendo builds
 
Sun - moon - rainbow and stars cease
their shining
swallowed up
for something brighter grows
 
Eyes no longer laughing
now dance
 
Flutist no longer echoes on canyon walls
flows softly away to drifts
for something now more stirring
flows
 
Arrows once plunged into the heart
no longer wound - absorbed
into one
one another
one
 
Hart no longer leaps
no longer hit, dying
runs -
 
the dream of buck
splitting -
becomes the two
running -
towards the doe
towards
each other
 
Two harts pass into
become the one
something new
 
No longer the touch of two become one
but the taste of the breathing
born -
             that brought the raven's wings - that was carried by the wind
             that held the clouds - that stretched the sky
             that held the sun - that suspended the stars
             that reflected the moon - that carried the flute
             that held the wolf's wail - that brought the creatures
             that dropped the rain - that lapped the shores
             that flowed the river - that made the colored beads
             that shot the arrow
                               and the sounds now rising from canyon walls
breathing echoes no more two, but now one
repeating
the taste of a lifetime now
sings

          

                                        

                                                             

                                                                        forever
                                                                                      forever
