To my future self

 

I write these simple words to you

Though you may not read them

for uncountable years they will wait

knowing that when you are ready

You will know who you were

I sit and think of you and hope

These lessons to pass to you

My mistakes your history

This future your forgotten past

My quiet life your legacy

         

                  - Christopher Getz

So much kinder than your sister Sun

Bathed in the clear light of this cloudless eve

the kind Brother shines upon the sleeping earth

Bare feet on the grass and cool dirt

skin painted glorious blue by your luminous presence

I stand and wait for you my love

I watch you there on the black road you walk

All radiant white and perfect

I know that I am incomplete yet you reach for me

I am made whole by your healing touch

The wind our only witness

I sit and welcome you my love

Come Beloved fill me with your healing light

embrace me to your cool breast and lay me down

I will sleep here next to you

Wet in the grass you watch me in my repose

glad to rest here under your silvery eye

I sleep and dream of you my love
