Silent Presence Not in shadowy presence do you linger but a slip-knot of love surrounds my fingers so that I tap to you my message of light and my psyche holds your image tight. We have never met, you and I, but revel in knowledge that our souls heard the bell the commonness of lives, of souls shared as one we have traveled before, yet we’ve only begun. You are my silent presence, behind my mind’s eye, if I have a thought, you say “ah, it is I who put it there, for I’ve that thought too” so I know what you think, yea, I know what you do. Feel me now, as my soul reaches for you, tenderly I would care to ease the pain in you, know in your heart, my angels come to sing, hold on tight to my soul’s heart that I would bring. Be not afraid, for I will be alongside to carry, helpmate of God, my soul will not tarry be strong in conviction, strength will come to your soul, sunrise, sunset, I’m in your Florida’s shoals. Not in shadowy presence do you linger but a slip-knot of love surrounds my fingers so that I tap to you my message of light and my psyche holds your image tight. 4 May, 2000 ©KRJ Dedicated to Shannon Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine of the heart, I liked this one immensely. Particularly when you state - We have never met, you and I, but revel in knowledge that our souls heard the bell the commonness of lives, of souls shared as one we have traveled before, yet we’ve only begun. If I may add, May our friendship thus more marvel, Let our thoughts move and travel, Hope that all the world's mysteries unravel, Plunging us both to a sublime level... Many regards, Sudhir. In any moment of decision, The best thing you can do is the right thing, The next-best thing is the wrong thing, And the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt |
