why
you know
is because it
is your way to find
me where i am… where
the edge meets the whisper
that washes away the sands of
surrender, to touch me with patience

like a dream you wander
through the side of you
that gathers shadows best
but it’s in the time
in between moments
that scratch at you
and die off as ashes,
your secret revealed
when i sleep
your path is you, you know
so follow it

as it seems… there is a you
that experiences something other
like a wave with its ocean,
or a particle of air with its vast space
as if you, the wave
join with the other, the ocean
and yet,
also absolutely
something larger
now

create me like i created you
in the space
which lies deeper than you know
it is where, you see,
i first found
the concept of your
decision
to think outside your unexpected life
and roar instead
impactful.

where do you go at night when i think you are sleeping?
i looked under my pillow
but you weren’t there…
i hear you
and feel you
especially when
the nocturnal
start to stir
and tell me
you are here
again…
just listening

wandering free,
yet expressed…
come with me to see how
somewhere between the wild
and the calm,
i know you
as you are
you.

how is the fire in you
the fire in me
at times when i least
expect it to be?
you lead
i follow
when your steam, your inferno
catches me…
in a moment i blaze…
and you know the truth
whether you
created your moment
for me or not

i haven’t
written
yet
or
spoken much
since the last time
i found
the way
to your
place inside you
that you protect
