Magnivelare

Much like a whisper,

soft yet sincere

I hear the stories you carry

in the spirals of my inner ear

as you bring my awareness

ever closer

to that fertile edge

where soil meets air

this place, this space

that you and I share.

So humbled am I

to walk alongside you

so silent and divine

to trace your presence

along the root lines.

White whispers

amongst the sea

of dapped browns

and moist greens

and blacks of decay

you shine like the full moon

against the curtains of night

shrouded in stars

of microbial light.

Its like falling in love

an embrace safe and warm

each time I rest my eager eyes

upon your brilliant form

in the way my body jolts

with ecstatic delight

and my heart just can’t help

but sing with all it might.

and I smile

as I sink down to my knees

as if to bow to you.

And I do.

And just as I convince myself

I could never deserve

something so spectacular

you beckon me in

inviting me as your kin

into your mysterious, magical world

to touch your delicate, white skin

I tenderly unearth your firm flesh

and bring you to my nose

hold you close

under the canopies shadows

and breathe in deep;

musk and cinnamon

takes me so deep within

a place of such bliss and pleasure.

the closest thing I know to treasure.
