wave

in this life

we are compelled to live

so thoroughly

and completely

together

there are

so many wishes

so many hopes

and so many dreams

racing across the skin of us

and as each holds our hands

or kisses our eyelids

or whispers brave words in our ears

they wash across the body of us

so much like a wave

smoothing

and softening

the edges

of who we are

and given time

we become

an inseparable

and polished singularity

a point

of completion

a place of peace

a locus for the energy

that draws us together

simply because the universe

loves

love

and so wishes for us to lose

ourselves

in its love

that it draws us together

into deliquesced forms

and says:

"this is

how it is ...

this is how

it must be ...

leave everything behind,

and become"

-

with love

as one year ends and another begins

one of my favourite pieces of music - wave created by david sylvian and robert fripp

here are david sylvian's words for this song......

i'm also very fond of this instrumental rendering of wave which appears on the 'camphor' collection
