Soul Swimming: A Reflection on Love

I’m still writing about my former lovers and honestly, I feel like I need to do this before I move on.

Sometimes it feels like I’m writing about everything and nothing at the same time.

Even writers find themselves at loss for words to express the deepest human emotions.
I read over the collection of prose and poetry that I have created over this past year.

I search for meaning and solace and refuge.

I search for the Holy miracle.

I reflect back on some of my poetry “ love arrives with no revisions perfect when it arrives” I wonder if there is truth in this?

Perhaps the spiritual love, that my heart yearns for no longer exists.
Perhaps our self-love and connection with the world is the spiritual path to love and loving.

I do not fear love I fear the fall!

I no longer want or desire to fall in love for in doing so one falls out just as fast.

I fear misguided love, the charisma and charm that lures you in.

I fear lust.

I fear a fire that burns out fast.

I yearn for a higher love
One that sees the light within and a true heart calling.
Love that is vulnerable and real.

I realize I want a different kind of love because I have experienced such love if only for a short while.

This is quite the reality check and grounding.

Soul Swimming

I first swam in your eyes a dark and languid pool that let me glimpse into your heart.
“Come swimming,” you said I hesitated and slowly surrendered.

My heart opened.

Lost in your eyes
I inhaled

The breath of your Soul

Like a wind and fire that filled, restored and lifted me higher.

A wind of peace

An acknowledgment of two souls yearning amd traveling the path of love to a spiritual home.
