Hide And Seek

everything being rock, being gas, being mist, being mind,

being the mesons travelling among the galaxies

at the speed of light,

you have come here, my beloved,

and your blue eyes shine, so beautiful, so deep

you have taken the path traced for you

from the non -beginning and the never- ending.

you say that on your way here

you have gone through

many millons of births and deaths.

innumerable times you have been transformed

into firestorms in outer space.

you have used your own body

to measure the age of the mountains and the rivers.

you have manifested yourself

as trees, grass, butterflies, single celled beings,

and as chrysanthemums.

but the eyes with which you look at me this morning

tell me that you have never died.

your smile invites me into the game

whose beginning no one knows
