today
we bridge the distance
between us

the air dances
in agreement

it paints itself with hues of brilliant orange
and I am encouraged
by its approval

i open my pages
where I've hidden your radiance
and I am invaded
by an intoxicating awareness
of what was once you,
and what was once
you and me.

and you become the gentle tone
of an auspicious heartbeat -
in awe,
I become that silence
entangled within your pulse
in an abiding embrace-

and I am with you always:

you
this alluring echo-
and me
the very space between
each beat of your heart.

i love you.

me.
