Music of the Sídhe: A Poem by Benn

Have you ever wanted to make love to creation?
Looked around and longed for a deeply physical embrace?
At the same time you can feel the great heartbeat
Grow more in sync with your own

Standing before trees
And breathing in, as they breath out
Like music, perfectly timed

I have known these feelings of supreme unification
Then watched in horror as it slipped away
Beckoning like the music of the Sídhe

What could be more perfect than that song?
What could possibly move the mothering stars, but that song?
The song that I hear in my own lovers voice
Yet cannot seem to capture.
