Poem by Christi Ortiz | FāVS News
I could be an Ocean to consume you with my love
But I might just come to you as a tiny drop to wet your lips and let you long for more so you come in search for that which your heart knows to be true, to be in fact: you
and when you step out into the voyage to find me, when you cast into the deep to discover what your heart yearns for,
You will find me in the whisper of your breath and the sound of the wind as it sways through the trees Almost silently, singing, “I am with you, wherever you go ...”
You will find me in the kiss of a sweet peach ripe, juicy and ready to be tasted
You will feel me in the wrap of the forest surrounding you with the fullness of life, which is love
And thus you will find me in the Ocean of love at the base of your heart. Its wake crashing in your body and upon the shore of life around you.
I could be an Ocean to consume you with my love
But I might just come to you as a tiny drop to lead you like footsteps into the Ocean of your heart.
