whether
a nothing kind of something
or a something kind of nothing
either delighted way
we blend
quite brilliantly at times
and for the most part
without pretense
that is why I smartly choose
to call you these so beloved words
'My Inner Connected You'
as you always express unto me the true
self defining dimensions of your very
soul and note that I shall always wish
us to be truly reacquainted again
and still again
millennium after lovely millennium
does such honesty and depth coming
from yours truly surprise you
somehow I thought not
as you've always known me so well
my friend
such beautiful words to hear
when they are coming
from you...................
