Love is not earned. It is the Divine moving through us.
You have felt it before: that aching, ancient longing for a connection deeper than words can hold. A longing not just for another person, but for something sacred, something that existed before you were born and will endure long after. You have searched for it in empty rooms, in quiet libraries, in deserts under comets racing through the heavens. And still the longing persists.
i loved you across the wild is a collection of poems born from a lifetime of spiritual devotion and the transformative love between two souls who found each other across what the poet calls "oceans of time." Written by Louden Kiracofe, these deeply personal verses move between the tender and the transcendent, exploring the divine essence hidden within romantic love, the natural world, and the mystery of human connection. From whispered conversations with spirit dogs and ravens riding desert thermals to candlelit evenings by the Rio Chama, each poem reveals the sacred pulsing beneath ordinary life. This is not love poetry that stays on the surface. It reaches toward the eternal.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
- Poems that honor romantic love as a doorway to the divine, not separate from it
- Vivid, grounded imagery drawn from the American Southwest, its canyons, rivers, and wildlife
- An invitation to recognize the sacred mystery already alive within your own relationships and longing
For readers drawn to the intersection of love, spirit, and the wild beauty of the natural world, this collection offers a quiet, powerful homecoming.
