In what you suffer and miss
and hope for, you are alone.
No one can feel your pain
or fear but you.
Yet on the edge of your
canyon, I am here, eager for
the view, waiting to lift you
and hold you.
We could have been born
on different continents or in
different centuries but here we
are, loving each other through
the silver weeds of being here.
It is a tangled knot in the
fabric of the Mystery that
we are so alone and so
together.
This is from my book of poems in progress, Elsewhere.
