For Leah Poem by Danny Banks

In this moment of wakeful slumber where
You and I melt into a single heavenly body
Each breath becomes divine inspiration
Our touch, a melding of souls
All knowledge is conveyed in the language of silence
And emptiness yields a sublime repast
Grace is illumined in darkness

Later

You and I will be called upon to
Listen!
Look!
To Taste, Smell,  Touch!

To perceive the world and to be observant
To judge
And ultimately to choose

But just now there is no discernment

For in this moment there is but one sense bathing each neuron
Embracing our souls
Not of body
Not of mind
Synchronous
But not of time

Earthly feelings enveloped by an overarching and radiant sensation

Love
