(this poem was written for me recently from a close friend. I was graciously given permission to post it here as it fits and belongs on this blog -- i hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoy sharing it!)
Coupled Solidarity
the question lingered....
her cheeks grew bright red, and
she lowered her head to cover a
smile from him.
he wondered if it would happen....
but wait, he was a gentleman. he thought,
‘i am a gentleman.’ She lifted her head and
found his eyes. he knew the same thought
ran through her mind. her and him doing....
her eyes unfurled. but wait, she was a lady.
she thought, ‘i am a lady.’
the questioned lingered....
how long of a wait before he tells her,
or she tells him...two weeks, one month,
three months, six.... soon a year would
pass.
two daydreamers. too much distance, too
little time, and only one life. God teases this
abstract with emotion. too difficult to
prove perfect, even when the mind meets
the heart in the same commune.
love surges, but time does not agree.
the question lingered....
pupils expand and contract to let the light
penetrate and allow the enlightened pupils
to envelop in change, adapt to coincidence,
engage in growth, and challenge falsity.
the question lingered...the question persists.
truly enlightened they do not force hand,
but leave it in God's hands.
Wow, he's poetic :)
