freedom’s star and love’s rain.

only along these hallowed hallways
of forms imagined in absence of candle-light
can we recall with all relief the brilliance of our own
and be ever after the benefactors of more bounty
than the fiercest of pirates could’ve ever known
to roam with freedom’s star at our backs
amidst a celebration of fear’s flight.

only within these structures narrow and changing
along illusions foyer of time and space
might we watch ourselves loosen the confines to reflect
on being ever the recipients of more richness
than the shrewdest entrepreneurs could’ve hoped to collect
to drift purposefully with love’s driving rain upon our chests
towards an awesome and humbling grace.

only along these stairways of creativity
designed for joy and sorrow’s conclusion
can the very lords and ladies of the estate enjoy the climb
to look out upon garden and stream
a panoramic vision to the corners of a kingdom
more grande and expansive
than the greatest conquerors unfulfilled dreams

only within these channels of absolute synapsis
might we investigate our affection for the other
to understand the all-permeating oneness
and gaze forever undisturbed with freedom’s star
and love’s rain as our comrade’s against delusion
to walk forever undisturbed with freedom’s sparkling star
and love’s driving rain for company in our eternal seclusion.
