I Am/You Are I am the yin to your yang... the breath in your bubble... You are the because to my why... the reflection in my eyes... I am the curled fingers in your hand... You are the beat in my heart... You are the ring in my bell... the light in my eyes... I am the dreams in your slumber... the beacon on your shore... You are the dare in my dreams... the lilt in my voice... I am the warmth in your arms... the reason behind your shy smile... You are why I know there is a God... and the reason for angels... the source of my pride... the swell in my heart... I am the horizon to your journey... your partner in life's dance... summer rain to your parched lips... You are the beam in my moon... I do not want to be, without You You want I, to make two to be one ~~~~~ I am the yin to your yang... You are the because to my why... ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 26 June 2000 Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Oh Sunshine! This is one of those when a poet has to say "Darn it. Why didn't I think of that!" It's Truly a beautiful piece. "You are the dare in my dreams I love it. Simply love it! |

Sunshine, You are... very talented my friend!! Nice writing. LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Melissa, I read about your "name" too, and henceforth may begin calling you "Mel"... thank you for your lovely comments. Sometimes I am not so "sunny" but I try hard, anyway. So glad you enjoyed the poem. Karilea |

Karilea, wonderful poem. really wonderful. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Shouldn't we have a crying smiley face for poems like this? Not the sad face, but one that shows you crying because the poem is just so beautiful and touching...  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP "Everything is your own damn fault, if you are any good." E. Hemmingway |
