me
your spirit resides

an eternal yearning
met in dreams
and moments
of existential
bliss

with you
there is no
thought

an inherent
knowing
that our spirits
have met
will meet
collide like atoms
in this universe
undiscovered
like lands yet birthed
before the age of man
before languages
were spoken
when nature existed
in her
utter
holy
glory

this is where we met
the wind whispering
through pine trees
the sun loving soil
the rain drenching valleys
when lightning was born
from a solitary
cloudburst

this is how we first met

above
below
beneath
behind
beside
