sine nomine

 
it is in the mountains. in the ocean.
it is in the rain. in the fire
and in the dynamic of the animals.
fierce eyes of the wolf. antlers of the mighty elk.
the buffalo. who cracks the earth
when he runs. and makes thunder.
 
it is metaphysical light. it is all color.
the blue of sky. the green of leaf.
sands of a beach. of a desert. sands of time.
that which is mythic. magical. mystery.
I cannot name it, as it is without a name.
it is without a name, to be free.
 
to be greater than the named things.
it is given to the spirit.
to make the spirit immortal.
it is greater than the vastness of the universe.
and it is small. to live in
a man’s heart. a woman’s heart.
 
it is in me. in my arms.
when I hold you.
