somewhere between you are and I am there is a word connection a bridge when I step on this bridge I find I’m within myself you are there standing on the other side the words, “You are,” and “I am” unite then seals itself around us there will always be that bridge two people on either side so much in love awaiting for the long-anticipation day when the bridge can be breached they will make the transition from now into the afterlife . . . ©May 15, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

The difference between "You are" and "I am" can be very extreme, and also very subtle. What those two simple phrases can represent might shape different images in the readers minds, but the "oneness" at the end brings a very positive image. A truly lovely piece. Michael |

Devina, I am so appreciative of your thoughts about this poem. You said, "reaveals a promise far after life has ended, instead of having a stopping point." I absolutely believe this. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
