Exploring Yes

I wanted this:

I wanted to be overcome,

Wanted the unknown mysterious tide

to rush through me, lifting away

everything I thought I was.

I wanted this internal suspension

Where my molecules,

With sudden phosphorescence,

Flow in a toroidal circulation,

Waking me all up inside.

I wanted this astonished state

of being rendered formless —

My caterpillar body melting

in its chrysalis —

Feeling in an ongoing surprise

The newness taking shape within.

When we are done, I’ll soar —

Of this I’m sure

though I can’t fathom how,

or what I’ll be

For I am drawn to this

with all my essence —

This yes to you is yes, still more,

to me.
