Significations

I forgot why I came here today
and so arrived with naught to give;
except memory reflected in my eyes
an excessive drumbeat in my chest,
and a rapturous song of release.

Life drips from my fingers -
grabs images etched inside my lids,
echoes the secret silent rush of
temporal forces rising from deep cells;
swirling into a melange of existence.

Reveling in the physical touch,
I know why we were given this chance
to dive into these oceanic senses
and drown beneath the undulating fire.
Surrender to absolute tide.
