Sometimes when I close my eyes, I’m floating
suddenly beneath strange pulsating sea
calming yet electrifying, something
like bright cloud yet not cloud surrounding me
in vibrating rainbow light. I feel you
with me, love, though you’re gliding out of sight
somewhere in our mystic ocean, its hues
a dream spectrum of mystery, like night
and morning weaved in silent meteors
blazing in slender streaks through gray-blue space.
Then I somehow sense something like splendor
of your psyche, me suspended in grace
of your eye’s iris, my soul free of fear,
and through your magic sight my vision’s clear.
