To the one who still moves in me:
Domo Arigato Gozaimasu, ai shi te ru wa


You were speaking in the wind
and I, to our moon
on currents leading to the heart
we knew we'd meet up soon

Oh, what a glorious day that was
your voice deep in my eyes
I tasted, sipped, devoured your
thoughts, but never satisfied

I watched you partake
of the sounds
I made upon my tongue
melodies written
for the soul
and from my own was sung

So delicate yet so profound
I never heard you leave
there were days I would have cried
but this time I believe

Our souls met just long enough
to hold on for a spell

remember how "we" blessed our lives

and wish each other well...
~Sunkissed.

ps,
For some reason, this poem posted in insights when I picked this particular forum.

Thank you for this... I can't tell you how much I needed it or what it means to me... but your words found a home in my heart.

Splendid!

Lingering for a while in this beauty ...

( I guess the reason for this being sent to insights is to attribute to the little "bad" word that the control system formed of two separate words of those following the name ...)

Very beautiful poem. What a placid feeling reading it has given me.

Made cheerful by genial jest.
Not faltered by the tempting test.
He thinks I’m grand, he thinks I’m fine.

"Our souls met just long enough

I love your thinking.I so agree that whatever gift of word or smile we are given by another, it does not matter how long the
meeting lasts on the outside.It is the love cast into the heart and the memories that last that counts. Thank you for this message.jo
