I drink you in
Through the mouth of my heart
Like a sweet elixir
A nectar of healing
You are not one man
You are the heart of man
The sweat and the blood
The chest and the legs and the sex
You are the essence of incarnation
The breeze of the ocean
The lifeforce of humanity
The connection to the cosmos
The tall wizard
The mighty king
The focused warrior
The fierce hunter
Standing
By the edge of the sea
Beckoning
With a triton
Seeing
With crystal blue eyes
Protecting
The heart
Of the mother.
I take you in
And heal
The cells in my body
The memories in my genes
The ancestors who died
In pain of childbirth
Of rape
Of savagery
Of anger and hatred
Of confusion
I take you in
To my body
My breath
My soul
My mothers heart
I take you in
To heal
The wounds
Of my female ancestors
My male ancestors
My children
Taken
From me
Before they were ever born
I stand by the sea
And witness you
And smile
With the soul of a lion
And eyes as light as fireflies
I smile and feel giddy
Like a girl again
Because now I know
That you are me
And I, my love,
Am
You.
