Silent timeless morning, gray mist dances by dawn's light, gracing all things with a divine glow. Faun you surprise me, transport me, awaken me to what is real. Large moist eyes rest as your soft mouth gently chews dew soaked grasses. My emotions pour, soaking me with love and appreciation. Leaving behind the boredom that happens when to much time is spent waiting for the next new convenience.
In
this moment I feel the mist that moistens the deep dark eyes of the fawn, unlike moments before. Sitting quietly in the
kitchen, steam from my coffee dances upon warm toast. I break my fast without reverence, without the mist that touches all
things.
It is not my first instinct to let such mist dance in my heart and soul. With your dew soaked invitation I release into the mist. It swirls through my heart,
mind and soul showing me that love is pervasive and ever present. My Memory gifts me with sadness. Feeling the mist freely dancing places that gift before me. Its wrappings
untouched I walk from it.
A
dry wind comes to where mist swirled and floated. Again I an idle, less comfortable yet more at home. Another silent breakfast
hot coffee warm toast, consuming with out nourishment. Words read, lists I plot and name tomorrow’s shoulds. My body
feeds its self wile my mind reads yesterdays news.
With in my heart I do not notice the unopened gift from which
the dry dusty air flows. Submerged in hollow solitude, will my dismembered isolation be unveiled to me? The dust I choose to see has been my home. In the absence
of comparison dust becomes mist with a questioning feeling that if followed would lead to the gift wrapped in sadness.
What is this fear wrapped
gift? What blessings could there be in such an obstacle? To unveil the mist, this dense box must be opened. Dry wind blowing
from its obscured interior blinds me. Apprehension burns my hands as I tug on its bow. Long deep breaths cool my hands as I acknowledge this unfolding. Tears come, gathering
along my lashes, witnessing truth, cleansing my vision falling from my lashes my tears herald the mist. As acceptance morphs
into forgiveness the mist grows thick around me.
Looking into the box my ego's reflex to fire a spit hurling yell releases into a deep cleansing exhale. Such protests I am spent in making. Mist blooms deep with in me. My heart opens to the cleansing
waters of rebirth. Fawn, I have come to
your calling, answering an invitation penned in my own hand, delivered in the chilly mist of morning, through the depths of
your eyes.
