Longing for the Great Completion

To be warm and full

Like the summer sun

That was carried once

By Raven

Light coming out of the darkness

A round ball in a black beak

Fleshy ripening fruit

Hangs on branches

As our bodies swell and sweat

In the heat

Of this love

Yes, our existence is voluptuous

Lazy afternoons

expand into daylit nights

Joy passes through

Our lips

As music hangs

On humid air

We are here

Simply to bask in the radiance

Of completion

There isn’t anymore work

To be done

Taste the passion

Of summer love

Oh! The people we are

When we can shed off

The protective layers

Of self-consciousness

The seasonal clothing of “too much to do”

And “never enough time”

Wear this dance

Naked and free

Under the starry sky

For we are the

Celebration

Freedom

Dawns

In the summer skies

Here

And for all time
