Reunion

Cry gently, my love, in parting,

loud tears mar the time we shared as one.

---

 Weep softly, to music,

errant chords plucked at only just begun.

---

Tread lightly, my sweetness,

fragile heart may break at one more tap.

---

Embalm me, my angel,

fly to me, wing’d aura be your guiding map.

---

 Know nothing need part us,

no distance, time, nor space created in between.

---

 Be ready, alert to

my sighs arising, soft slowness pitched to keen.

---

 Stand steady, my fortress,

strength of Everest to your scaling feet.

---

Awaken my dreaming,

shift silken drapes, in dawn’s rays we meet.
