THE FERTILE FIELDS OF INTIMACY

© 2010 Howard McQueen

This zesty gumbo of engagement,

opening us wider and deeper

to the splendor

and rapture

of loving,

and piercing

through our fear,

of living.

This wild,

unfettered spirit

breathing through us,

setting torch

to the holy fire,

consuming the barriers

held between us.

This no holds barred

exploration

this vivid

experimentation,

immersed in the fertile fields

of intimacy.

Would it be

that human-i-ty

is being kindled

into awakening,

yet again.
