that night after burning man

the drive back to the mundane

the constant bashing our heads

against giant brick walls

of our lives

of trying to get it right

the moments of pure 

enlightenment

tenderness

joy

peace

frustration

and even loving anger

that we both know are possible

that night, that night

we stopped at a beach

it was cold

much like the burning man nights

when you forgot you had a comforter in the back seat

but i digress....

that night

wrapped in blankets

fearless of the wild winds

impervious to the the crashing storm

our gratitude enveloped us

like a warm blanket

and i felt bliss

seen, heard, believed

loved

under the moonlight

our love grew eternal

and love knew no boundaries

we returned

to the insanity of it all

to the door to to the way back home

you took me for pizza

and then i knew you really loved me

because i know you hate pizza

and onions

at least we have that in common

a laugh

a smile

a profound knowing

and i knew in that moment

my soulmate had fallen 

from the stars

sometimes i am baffled

that you put up with my bullshit

sometimes i am baffled

that i put up with yours

 feels safer sometimes from afar

other times

magnetism has its way

i thank all the goddesses

for you

for our connection

for this universe

for enriching my life

for awakening my spirit

for challenging me

for speaking your truth

for creating space to speak mine

and for helping me to believe

that another world is possible
