Then There Not

3/13/2014

0 Comments

 
I found you in the early morning
lit with sun
damp with dew
cool like wind
and distant as the other side
of this world wide
while I reached for you,
but my hand passed though.
As if you were imagined
like some brilliant thought
there for a moment
and then there not.

I loved you in the sunlight morning
loved you immediately
just like that, 
loved with a love I did not understand,
loved you completely... even as
you passed right through me
like air
like light
like a fleeting kiss in a tumbling night.

But for that sacred second in time
You were real 
and you were mine.


I drank your words
I breathed you in
and I stayed right there
after you'd gone
the whole day through
to await your return again.

Separate But Together

3/7/2014

The quiet
Contented
Peaceful knowing
That we are connected
Always
You and I
And each
Of us
Separate 
But together
In a place
Very much like love.

Whether we say it, see it,
Show it
Know it
Admit we feel it
Or choose to reveal it;
We are connected
By the river
Of an energy
Wild and free
That we
Tend to call love.
