She is me
as I would
like to be.

She speaks to me
of challenges and
secret motivations.
“The key is to begin,
it’s good to have goals.”

She leads me to
the ritual circle.
I stand on the virgin ice,
unencumbered by
usual restrictions.

She shows me
the curing ritual.

In a spasm
of heightened creativity
I see exotic,
sometimes chaotic,
mental imagery
and hear
floating whispers
emerge from
structures of silence.

A whirlwind of color,
cascading vibrations
and I return
from the
crystal dream time
resonating with
the alive energy—

love.
