There

There’s always been

that unnamable but familiar

something within you

that I knew was mine.

It stirs interstitially

within my being,

whirling and pulsating

between my tissues,

radiating outward –

magnetically searching

to connect with that part of itself

residing in you.

It seeks completeness

– potentiality fulfilled –

and when you’re too far away

it retreats into the ground of me

patiently waiting to reemerge

in the spring of you.

Now, with your return,

it cautiously but enthusiastically

seeks the surface

responding to warmth of

an unexplainable kinship –

budding ethereally,

burgeoning in its essence,

absorbing all it had missed,

finding wholeness

in you.
