And then from
Across the world
Perhaps the room
Space between us
Came a hello
Formed as wink
Followed by questions
And a tinge
Of laughter which
Tickled all me
We teased and
Joked and admitted
Our subtle attraction
And moved around
Each other like
The sun and
The moon aware
Of the gravity
Of us in
Space seeing each
Other yet never
Really really ever
Able to touch
Life is strange
Like a winding
Path through glen
Or a forest
It leads you
To many places
Yet to discover
Never fear life
But embrace it
There is no
Going back to
The beginning only
Forward or now
I have discovered
That as long
As I’m living
I am learning
Sometimes it’s joyful
And sometimes painful
Change can hurt
And often does
Reaching for sun
Or the stars
Stretching and touching
Them can burn
But that’s life
Isn’t it really
When you look
Back at life
It’s easy to
Connect the dots
Framing your understanding
But when you’re
Living your life
Presently you are
Walking blind in
The wilderness trust
In God’s hands
To guide you
Tell me
Does love
Not live
Right here
You Me
Tell me
Do not
Turn away
But please
Tell me
Is not
You and
I love
