believe me
the connection between us is indeed quite real
as of it I am certain you possess some sort of feel
feel for me that is
it seems you and I are quite simpatico
whether nearest to the light
or even further a fro
our hearts though they beat separate
still closer and closer they appear to grow
the beauty of our even distanced companionship
fulfills a most specific though all the more
deeply private need
the need that lives to connect and be a part of
another imprisoned soul
one who's self enlightenment
will not another spirit's necessary growth only
further impede
alas, one that looks out just as I am looking in
who could for see where such tentative link
could lead
perhaps to a yet born journey that means far more
to our prospective views than we we each alone
could ever hope to know
do not ask me why though that this is so
but to you alone the virtual essence of the most
natural form of me feels bound, compelled and
determined to flow
I can only pray that your thresholds of understanding
and acceptance are great
for, as I clearly see it
this is but our first of many steps taken in an
intricate fandango
one of which whose path even if only slightly
crossed deems such remote possibility of
discovered grandeur as fate
luck never knew what hit it when I wrote this........
