Tenderness and Tears - A Poem
All I see
Is inside me
Because
Even with my eyes closed
You are there
Yet what I feel
Is real
What I hear
Is real
What I see
Is real
I've been told
Its all an illusion
Some matrix
We are all caught in
You show me
The matrix
Is in the mind
Where and when I exist
Separate to you
Caught in my tenderness
Caught in my tears
Caught in stories
Of who I was
Of who I should become
While simultaneously
Longing to remain present
The bellbird calls me back
The water calls me back
Your most beautiful star
Calls me back
Light cast across these waters
Inviting me to be present
With you again and again and again
Dissolving this thinning veil
So that I see this world
Lit up
With the energy
Of your love.
