May I Stay Here Forever

May I stay here forever
in this perfect place of peace with you --
the sacred space
between in breath and out,
timeless moment
before the need for anything has risen,
Buddha enjoying
his late afternoon nap
with no one around
to extract any meaning from it.

First, there is a breath.
Then, there is a second.

This is how I begin my long walk with you by the water's edge,
cool white sand beneath both our feet.

Hi there Mitch,
It's the first time I've been introduced to your blog site. I've enjoyed reading every article you've written... you're like an artist painting every detail of what a flower feels each morning as the due drops linger on it's petals... my goodness! -- Lavaniya
