A Further Wish
by rjosephhoffmann


Love is pushing the last thing
You loved out the window
Of your memory. Falling
And moving like blowing sand
On a dark day, it happens
Not to bodies but to souls
Looking for a way to sense
The world without tools
Or avatars.  There’s no sadness
When souls fall, because we know
That’s how a soul fastens
Onto a world and how it goes
Back to heaven.  So, no surprise
That the soul I saw in you
Was my soul once: In my eyes
You saw a veiled life as a new
Possibility.  It took a touch, a laugh
a strange prophetic silence
to destroy the false book
I had been reading, in one glance.
We share this soul like the wind
Shares the earth: it breathes love
And moves us, until we find
Each other in it and can no longer move.

Beautiful indeed – and hopefully not just a wish.

Thrice beautiful. Omnia… wish for everything or nothing at all. Blessed Irish, blessed: ‘May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true’. Again, your wish is soulfully beautiful.
