A Taste of the Divine Nectar

you are the divine nectar of fire running
through my veins
generating light in the dark places of the soul

you re-create a sense of joy and wellbeing
in my orbit
transforming my life in so many ways

i soar like an eagle on heat
like the rainbow
lorikeet over the naked mountains blue

i wrestle with the new dawn under
the gum tree
exploring the consciousness of the beloved

i find the true north of my being
my true destiny
in the spaces between dreams

i plant my seeds in sweet silence
tasting your
essence as the heart sings
