UPON THE BRIDGE OF MYSELF

Folder: 
JOURNAL #32

meeting you

'Upon The Bridge Of Myself'

it was

I believe

the pull of creativity

that drew your own searching self

to mine

to stand with me

there in that place

all to our selves

above time

and though I will never fully understand

the exact why of such matter

I remain comfortable in my knowing the who

and the when

yet the where is of little consequence to me

as man is a transitory being

never long without motion and want

as this connectivity to each other builds

we too in turn in our selves  build

though such structures are nearly inperceptable

still, they are ever there

deep within

growing

expanding

and improving

on deep foundations of rock solid self

yet so very many are not even remotely

aware of this

ah but you and I maneuver our thoughts

so easily like dolphins through these

very same water ways of mental depth

as if we are weathered ex patriots

reunited in the country of our living choice

after having been parted so long now

from our original homeland

and I realize so fully only just now

that in a sense

you in your presence

are a gift to me

one most precious

a special prism for mine eyes to peer through

and better see

is so startling to conclude

when before your entrance into my latest

reality

I suspected not even an inkling of need

to have you in my life

yet now to imagine your exit

almost feels criminal to my

spiritual growth

I sincerely hope for you,

that with these words  

I have lain bare

any complexity in this

spiritual blending that before

altered itself to tease at your own mind........................
