In the well, the rich, vibrant place
The place where all creation begins, the Depths
Depths of my spirit, heart, essence of my being
My being is the place where I long for you

Who are you, my Sweet Dream One?
Are you a myth? Fantasy? Fabrication?
Echos of your laughter, your magic song
Shadows float before me, intangible

Evidence remains, holds on firm
Grips at my heart, so I know, I know
The Eye of my Heart has seen you,
Truth of the heart, Truer than True

In the well, the rich, vibrant place
The place where all creation begins, the Depths
Depths of my spirit, heart, essence of my being
My being is the place where I long for you

Julie, I love this!  I've longed like this before and remember well the feeling.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go

Julie,

Wonderful writing.  I can feel the longing through your words.  Hang in there my friend, you'll find him some day.

Passions Voice, thank you for your words of encouragement.  I like your nick name, fits in with my website, http://www.5passions.com!

Tara, this is not Soul's Longing!  I am still working on that one!

Sven, in the Eastern tradition, this longing is neither good nor bad, it simply is a state one is in....

Lone Wolf, I am touched that my words have become palpable to you.  That is a great compliment!  Thank you!

Sea, THANK YOU!  And how did you know my nicname JJS?!

Rich, I appreciate your time in reviewing and responding to my work....hope to read lots of yours as well!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE

Who is he, this elusive one, and where does he hide. I have seen him too, but he fades before my eyes.
Very enjoyable, and a feeling I know well.

This was a beautiful way to describe
something that the majority of us have felt
at one time or another....and I loved your
mention that longing is neither good or bad
....it just is, I'm beginning to see that
more and more.  Great writing Julie~

Julie:

What a spectacular description of creation at it's finest.. The anticipation, the longing for the inevitable. Wonderful job.

Dear Julie, Sometimes, we just know, know from within, don't we?  Oh, my! a perfectly beautiful creation you've penned. Excellent.
