Stormproof

A Reality

This is the darkest of storms yet

And everything is being tested

I stand firmly, alone on the porch

Our house planted in stormland

You trapped in the basement, where little sun shines

The storm lifts me and i float, flutter

Holding onto the sides of my gutter

Butterflies dipping in my gut

I want to let go, but i am afraid my house may go too

I am afraid that they may forget about you

I let go of one pillar, and wiggle my ankle over the porch

letting go is so tempting

Yet my maintenance in this house is so damaging

The wind is a mix of glittering mist and warm fluffy dust

She is gentle and engulfing as she lifts me up

I slip, she has me by ankle,

I float and forget, the broken house and close my eyes and relax my mouth

My arms are flowing with her embrace, my hair has grown, mimicking the love and curves of lace, i feel the blue, turquoise and green, my dress once browned with ground and earth, and steam

Comes clean and the whites of purity, oneness, spirituality connect to me,

I feel the flow, and the go of things, no longer guided by the rings, the rested around my love, & your heart

this storm is a new start.

Washed away was insecurity

Anger in the mud

The blood of bonds

Connection to the limits

Pools of failure

Tear filled ponds

I reach and stretch

I touch something with my toes

My eyes are closed,

Yet i feel the electricity, spike through me

This is the love, i thought was weathered by the earth

It’s you, full of girth and power to find sunshine in the underworld , manueavering through this storm

To merge into me, first by arm

You have decided, have made a choice to sliver through

The crack in your cell,

Following the pavement of peace that i released to guide you

Into heaven through hell

I haven’t seen a face, yet i know that it is you

The love transcends and we are now engulfed in healing

You me and i you, we flow and fit, & show our roots that we can both be lifted, despite the seriousness, the storm seems, and we become nothing more than light beams, wrapped in me and we twist, and turn into our wildest dreams, a shootings star we become

A miracle from god, our kingdom come.

Please take my hand and you will see, how the storm can clear if you follow me,

our house rebuilt and stronger than strength can be,

You on the porch and staring at the sun,

A shooting star skirts by and out runs from the securely rooted house, our beloved baby, our sun.

And i float through the front door, to meet your back full of scars,

Admiring the focus of your gaze, as you bend and lift our gift to meet its maker,

I touch your back and the scars glitter like gold, i am water, i fill you with my sweetness

As i step aside you, the scars still shining,

You never bend over to fold, never to falter. You stand in your power, as husband and father. You are the root, I the water and we are nourished by our sun. I feel victory, the freedom bells, we have won.

We know that storms will come

However our sun, will give us light in the dark

My water can control the waves

And your strength, roots will always save
