Spirits touching



(Prelude)

Incrementally

we are Becoming closer
to each other...  

Finding what little effort
it may take,

While compounded
by feelings of compassion

We more freely
give

when tragedy overtakes
Us unexpectedly

A spontaneous reaction
in giving aid

And comforting
those in pain

What difference
Love makes




hello

You do not know me

I am much like you,

The sense of being alive
Have followed  parallel pathways

For us to get where we are
in style and technique

We are passionate,
inspired and unique

There are subtle differences
In almost everything we do

at these crossroads

We have arrived…
Each, with precious memories

Of growing up,
With friends and family

Touched by people
Who have inspired

What we are today

What has brought us here
In this tender moment

Being with you
This day

Although, perspectives
More than principles

May be cast in different lights

Knowing we may not share everything
About how we feel inside

We have both lived through
Many contrasting points of view

Moving closer, together...  

In effort to Find
what little it may take,

Is never a mistake

As we live, together and apart

Our natural attraction

fuels the fractal bases
Of our myriad interactions

Compounded
by the calculus of contentment

In our feelings of compassion
We give in troubled times

A spontaneous reaction

In what touches
Places in our minds

We’d never known
As different

Before

As we open your hearts
And let another soul touch ours

Surrendering, our fears
And let another spirit being

Know…

What happenings in our lives
Brings joy and tears…

what passion
Moves your heart

And breathes within
Our soul
