two in one

by Peter Humphreys

I
stand
beneath
where the
moon should
be with me as you
and you as me entwined
bewitched between beyond
bewildered bourne of soft white
willowing clouds cast free before the
dawn and as you are me and I am you
we seek as one the future too as two in one
and one but two the elder tree glows down on
you as me I see the crinkling crackling sun awaken

A powerful little poem of transformation, I feel. The "elder tree glows down" gives it a strong intention toward regeneration and magical union. (I love that the tree reproduces from any part.) It has strong mythological significance that overhangs the poem. The "crinkling crackling sun" seems almost a response to it, along with the "you as me" and "I am you" ..."bewitched".. I also love "where the moon should be". As if standing there during the new moon...or perhaps obscured by clouds...it is a beautiful concept. And of course the form makes point of coming to the point...

I love stuff like this. Especially when it's done well. Excellent work, sir.
