PERMANENCE

That which is impermanent attracts compassion. That which is not provides wisdom. Stephen Levine

Permanence 

Let my heartbeat be 

as visible as your tattooed ink.

Let my exhaled truth be as 

evident as a stream of steam

billowing in the snowy cold.

Let my intent imprint your soul

while I am
whispering the warm words of love to your heart.

Let the depth of my truth know the nourishment of earth

as we stand under the moon near a tarnished urn of past.

Let the sun feed the  

sturdiness of our  roots as I tattoo you

onto the pulp of my life.
