Your glow bathes me in
Cold, beautiful love
And I stand beneath you
Yet with you
Hearing your musical chatter
Making requests
That I have long ignored.
I feel the grief of this disavowal
Of our true nature,
Our ability to hear one another
In ways science can’t fathom
In its fearsome grip on rationality.
I feel you, your beauty
Brings tears to my eyes
As I long for our connection
To last forever
While knowing it cannot
And the exquisite pain of
Bittersweet loving reigns
My human heart.
For this vast, weightless
Heavy feeling I am
Utterly grateful.
Your silver beauty
Moves me like no other,
And yet, as the wave flows
I am left with this sense of
My earthiness and your sorrow
Of the unknown of this.
Together we are other and
This bliss of appreciation
Sustains our relationship.
No longer will awe
Disconnect us
My silver friend.
