What is it about today?
It has a certain pétillance, a special potency
I saw the Moon halfway there last night
It was cool and windy
But today’s air feels like a caress
My skin, my hair, my breath
Find it so easy to surrender
To wave hello
And ease to its weightless gravity
Neither warm nor cold
But so buoyant with promises
Charged with fluid that is not raining yet
The innocence of a newborn
No need to tense, resist
Or protect
When sudden chill edges your curves
Here hey droplets one two three
Time for a chat?
I open my hand and stretch my arm
The roof window is open
Sky and birds flying above me
Shy vaporous Autumn sun rays bathe
In the layered hues
Mighty skin
Our biggest organ
Can you listen
Can you let the mysterious aliveness of this air
Echo its melodies through the porous veil
As you soften and open to fresh glow and lazy breeze
Belly
Bellows
Sweet spots revealed
Heart’s wings gently opening
And closing
Neighbouring breath harmoniously
The moist silky gauzes around the spine
Vibrate a shrill and a shiver
I hold you in for just a moment
I feel your freedom
Reverberate
Thank you for holding me
For en-lightening me
For letting me sense and communicate
My inner spaciousness
With you
Sweet
Mellow air
So filled with love
