longing for Snowflake, my wandering
soul-mate
by Stormcat
It's
easy for you to know where I am because I seldom go anywhere. You on the other
hand are always going somewhere. So that even when informed, you've left that somewhere,
I find myself uncertain of your destination. Not that I wish to control, impose
on your solitude, or even track your movement . . . rather that I long for the
comfort of your spirit . . . to live within the relief of feeling that you
remain possible.
For
what are you searching, my Love, the comfort of Eden? There is no Eden of the
body . . . it is not a physical place; rather it is a condition of appropriately
blended soul . . . it cannot be reached alone, in isolation . . . nor in the
company of casual connection . . . only through the development of the absolute
and the perfection of the uncertain; that perfection wholly embodied within mutual
acceptance thereof.
Our
lives are in winter . . . season of frigid cold . . . but we are Snowflake and Stormcat
. . . I am the cat of the sky longing to
soar, yet born of the earth destined to always return thereto . . . You are born
ethereal high in the clouds of tumultuous uncertainty. . . though you long to rest, you are meant to
float on the wind; even as you melt, your essence returns to clouds to be born
anew. . . We intersect souls in skyspace.
Come
fly with me! Rest in the insulation of fur armor take solace in fierce desire.
Justify transcendence to winds aloft that we may dine together on delicate ecstasy.
Settle in the fortress of shared solitude building barricades excluding
unwanted disturbance. Venture confidently into peaceful eternity trusting in
the permanence of unquenchable love proffered in quiet hope, freely irrevocably
offered in innocence.
Beautiful poem, and such a powerful line:

I especially like the ideas that eden "cannot be reached alone, in isolation" and "We intersect souls in skyspace."
ReplyDeleteDelicate ecstasy! I see and feel it in the flying dance of Stormcat and Snowflake. Bravo on a moving prose poem! What a vision.

Ah, beautiful..when you find your soul mate you really do fly..
ReplyDeletethere is a delicate feel of a dance to this... a ballet is what came to mind...
ReplyDeleteRomantic and full of longing. It makes me want to hear Snowflake's response -- or is Snowflake able to hear Stormcat's call amidst the drifting?

Exactly SC! There can never be a substitute for true love! And thanks for an offering that's a refreshing whiff of prose unlike the usual poetry. Brilliant!

This is my favorite poem of yours so far. I especially love the stanza that begins "Our lives are in winter." It really lifts off and soars around the ceiling.....especially "We intersect souls in skyspace." Wowzers, kiddo, this is a fantastic piece of writing. Missing your girl hones your pen, my friend.
