Before

Before this love consumed me
I was a dark star, an empty glass,
a blistering wind, a dry beach.
But when you touched me I felt the ground shift
my heart strings were plucked
in a joyous crescendo
a surprise symphony.
A shattering light broke through me and shone
from my eyes to my fingertips
and around and between my thighs.
This dark star became bright,
the glass overflowed,
the wind was a tender sweet caress
this beach a fast rising tide.
I fell into my body for the first time
(I was always hovering behind or ahead)
and I knew that at last I was born.
My soul sang at your arrival
my feet danced rhapsodic
my face turned up in praise
to the miracle of your love.
