The Waiting

The slightest wave of a sound, thump thump, felt only by the sole from the intended soul.

a quick shuffle looses the sandal to allow bareness to anticipate more, thump thump

a deeper knowing, something lives under mother’s soiled covering

bare hands find their way to the ground, reaching for the sound, thump thump

followed by bare chest and body, stretched out between heaven and earth

waiting, longing to feel again, thump thump

heaven sends healing waves on uncovered skin, over back and thighs, encouraging the sound

earth pulses gently under chest and knee, returning heaven’s love

an altar, a place for the sacred, holy

the space between heaven and man, and man and earth, thump thump

what lies beneath, a living heart, suddenly remembering an ancient song

from the dust of the earth it was created and has waited

it belongs to the man, it belongs to the earth, it belongs to heaven

each pulse awakening the union of the three into one, thump thump

a sleeping giant, covered in soft fur wakes from it’s ordained sleep

it reaches through the earth, covering the man completely, and uniting with heaven’s light

an ancient bear has found his home among the Children again

the Children are blessed

they wait no longer
