How I Long For You By My Side

How I Long For You By My Side

***

Oh how you haunt me
Fill me like the wind 
In the hollow of a tree
Shake my branches
Pull up my roots from the soil

Oh love
You fill me 
How I long to reach out 
As one
Dance of life

To create anew 
Bring forth from the depths 
Deep In the darkness 
Break through the surface 
And smile
With the Sun as it rises

To dance through the night 
As the stars fall from the sky
How I long for you by my side

How I long 
For trust 
Touch

Geat sharing
Great giving
Great loving

How I long
For a We 
Beneath the nighttime
Sky beneath depths 
Of the sea

How I long 
To be With you again
Holding each other in our arms 
Trusting
Loving
Until 
Dawn

Stars shoot across the sky
And once again
I set forth on my way
Footsteps
Leading somewhere
I Don't know where 
But I trust
You will again
Be by my side

And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
