Listening to every heart

0 posted 2002-08-20 11:56 AM



I Am/You Are


I am
yin
to your yang…

the breath
in your bubble…

You are
because
to my why…

the reflection
in my eyes…

I am
tender curled fingers
in your hand…

You are
solid beating
of my heart…

You are
joy's ring
in my bell…

silver light
in my eyes…

I am
a dream
in your slumber…

light's beacon
on your shore…

You are
swift dare in
my dreams…

low lilt
in my voice…

I am
warmth
in your arms…

You are
why I know
there is a God…

and the reason
for angels…

source of
my pride…

bosom's swell
of my heart…

I am
a 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,
one

I am
yin
to your yang…

You are
the because
to my why…

you are
an ear
to my whisper...

I must have missed this gem when it was first posted.  I'm sorry for that and excited that you reposted such a beautiful piece.

I read this poem very slowly--very deliberately. I didn't want to miss a thing. Each line grabbed me and flooded my mind and my soul with images so beautiful, so poignant...so...Excuse me, I've drifted off with the memory of your words again!

I don't think I have to say "I love it!" You know that I do!
