You Will Meet Me Again

You will meet me again, somewhere seemingly unfamiliar, and further north than you’ve been

...It is there I waited for you, in perfect form, youthful, spry

You know you are there, when the rainforest opens, and road pours forth to the ten thousand waterfalls surrounding

Each drop eagerly making way to the pure, nectared pool

As if to say

...Though we are water we are still thirsty for union

There are boulders, the molten muscles of earth - A hint of recollection

Steep Mountains kissed by heavens, snow at treeline top- The whispers of recall

Giant trees under sheaths of misty rain, the blood of the terrestrial - Your memory morphs towards constellations.

You are wedged between joints of fecund land and a lake so placid, she’s almost featureless...And you are permitted remember

...After I died, you called me to guide you, I answered and visited you in a dream, you waited —- and now you’re in it

You push forward like a dense beast, the veil thinning, you will not see me with your eyes, but I grant you the gift of sight, and echo the greatest lesson of earthly life

...love is all

As you enter the realm of the lake, the old world of cities, ends, and surrenders to the fragrances of ancient fern

The alembic, sanguine future awakens your body, dimming the melancholy

...These initiates are blessed, for they have the courage to imbibe the mysteries

Do not grip true companionship, merely recognize her

She shapeshifts, from bird to boa, from boa to human

She sleeps, dreaming by your side as you drive, a dream she will remember in the years to come

She will do so, the exact same way you are remembering now

...I guide you now from realms beyond, just as you promise one other to guide each other from the afterlife... As caverns protect Ilisos on its journey back to the sea
