Every Loving Thought Poem by Louise Tredoux

The e-mail message Rudi sent me -
a delineation of feelings so sublime,
feelings he cherishes being all mine
I can’t come down from the lofty heights
of mesmerized delight and become a
normal, left-brain half-dead human being
again, when I look up I see golden syrup
beams colouring my world so fine

The leaves become gold-green canopies,
the blue sky becomes a mysterious dome
of divine freedom, the garden becomes a
dew-fresh haven of promising morning
sweetness – so many feelings welling up
in me, I’m overcome, cannot get on with
my duties, caught up in the beauty of
emotions as big as mythology

As magical as legendary tales, as ethereal
as charming fairy tales, everything becomes
part of an allegory, symbolical of a deeper
dimension of perfection, every loving thought
becomes the bearer of infinity…
