 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

besos
