Listening to every heart

I Am/You Are


I am
yin
to your yang…

the breath
in your bubble…

You are
because
to my why…

the reflection
in my eyes…

I am
tender curled fingers
in your hand…

You are
solid beating
of my heart…

You are
joy's ring
in my bell…

silver light
in my eyes…

I am
a dream
in your slumber…

light's beacon
on your shore…

You are
swift dare in
my dreams…

low lilt
in my voice…

I am
warmth
in your arms…

You are
why I know
there is a God…

and the reason
for angels…

source of
my pride…

bosom's swell
of my heart…

I am
a horizon to
your journey…

your partner in
life's dance…

summer rain to
your parched lips…

You are
the beam
in my moon…

I do not want to be,
without You

You want I,
to make two,
one

I am
yin
to your yang…

You are
the because
to my why…

you are
an ear
to my whisper...

Very nice indeed!
Enjoyed this one Karilea.
Hugs~

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

As Laozi said,

"These Two are out of One,
though differently named,
they both can be described as Mystery."

"The Mystery and the Mysteriousness of it
is the doorway to all the wonders."

And it's the line I would have chosen, too... for finding the right one is knowing why you exist in this world... knowing that there is purpose and not just random motion until we drop from exhaustion. *S*

Absolutely beautiful!!

"You are
because
to my why…"

If you had written simply this, it would have been a good poem, but the rest makes it a great one....

enjoyed
