My Lover and I are playing hide and seek. Whenever I inhale, he calls oh, so softly, "Marco!" I pause and savor his invitation. Then exhale in in joyous abandon, "Polo!" Back and forth we go. Neither is ever further away than the next breath.
The time for grieving is over. Turn. Turn toward the One who has been waiting; the Bridegroom who lives inside the inside of everything you imagined to be nothing, to be something other. Turn back; drop in. Let the gravity of This pull you toward your Heart's desire. No more sack cloth and ashes. Rise up from the grave on wings fashioned by the Sun Itself! Turn, turn Great Bird. The time for Homecoming is Now.
