You Will Meet Me Again

gabrielgarciamft

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 like the ten thousand waterfalls surrounding

Each drop eagerly making way to the nectared pool

As if to say


...Though we are water we also have thirst for union


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

Steep Mountains kissed by heavens, snow at the treeline - The whispers of recall Giant trees under sheaths of rain, the blood of the terrestrial - Your memory congeals

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 —- 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 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 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
