Turquoise Electric Heart

	Leave the window of your soul cracked just a bit
	So that I may come in and bathe,
	To splash in your iridescent turquoise ethers ..

Your vibrant electric soul is crackling and hissing
Like waves  		  .. as they dissolve
				 .. upon a pure dazzling black isthmus of sand ..

Here we soar unencumbered by limits of night or day,
In softest twilight, ever breaking into realms of delight.

When I arrive, 
	I unfold
		  .. like a thousand cranes of origami
				 .. lightly nuzzling the dreams,
					    ..gently unfolding bruised wings from militant angels ..
 
Arise. Be healed!

The violet surf crashes upon this beach with hardly a sound
Violet, then turquoise, then the palest of gold with rose.


The angels shed their troubled tasks
Brought from the glaring lights of day.

Soar. Know you are beloved!

How many shall dance between the spheres
Between the planes, the very dimensions

		.. I cannot know.

	I see only that your window has been opened ..
	The cracks of consciousness need only a sliver of awakening
	To slip through, in their night robe and velvet slippers,
	To make themselves known ..

		 (I know)

That blessings shall be received, and that soaring
We are lifted beyond the transgressions of this world
To another place only glimpsed by day
 
         Deep 
		   in the lotus chambers
			
			  of your turquoise electric heart.
