You were always as a tiny island
in a vast sea of my dreams

Shipwrecked, I floated about
in that rolling, turbulent sea
for year after year until finally
washing up upon your warm, sandy shore

You were there waiting all along
Had a single wave been differently placed,
I may have floated by and simply perished
without ever seeing you or knowing you

Who then would know of our heartaches?
Who would love you and I so deeply
and eternally as you and I love one another?

God knows, of all the tragedies
that have ever been in this world,
all that are and all that will be,
there is one less because of His mercy

...you and I Linny honey, you and I

So many thanks Lori and Jerry for your kind words in reply, and a special thanks to you Jerry for that "mojo". Anyone who's ever been 'adrift' knows the value having with them anything that floats.

Thanks again to you both.

Try to use 'you' and 'I' less, especially in the title. Wonderful, poetic biography, if perhaps, a tad sieved.

ahhhh, Ari, I have always believed we cross each others paths, even for a brief moment, for an exchange of words in a restaurant over coffee...twas meant to be...fate is such a miracle, and BTW, loved this poem. Thank you...for writing and sharing this heartfelt gem.

Metaphorical romanticism at it's poetic best. Now, if only one could merge a parallel reality, that would be quite the love affair.

Touch, but don't look

If Columbus would have felt that way when he came ashore, things may have turned out differently. The Indians never had a chance.
