You inspire me, my autumn sprite.

"Amphibious" 11/13/03 by Brianne Alves

Out of the depths
it comes
boiling
hot and heavy:
Oneness
with you,
my inspiration
to a higher power
greater than
this
humanity--
the body
mine so desires
to truly understand
mortality...
Souls connected
to reconnect with
God
the vast expanse
of energy
that drew us
in together
on waves
of intuition
left a wake:
Karma.
So we swim
in emotion--
the swells
and crests
never before
reached the shore
my heart aches
for all things
you, natural
organic
you grow from
seed
to flower
a garden
Eden: your soul
my Paradise
to dance within
forevermore.
