I am old, a hag (a child, amazed) Ancient, beautiful, strong damaged, lost (vital) confused You are young, magnificent (old, jaded) unwilling, kind (cruel sometimes) wise, perceptive (blind) confusing... ...so much like me... What can we share? Parallel dreams Silent awareness Sympathy in laughter. The passion of music Quicksilver streams, expectant forest the depth of a look Intense, remote, connected without a touch, you grip my soul. Ah, my friend, I would show you what I've seen! The stars, the worlds in drops of water the surging energy of earth and lightning! Glory and mystery in you! Terror and fierce joy This is life! Everything fits, it all belongs Ancient earth beyond imagining ephemeral spark of insect-life The baffling power of light the bottomless, formless reservoir of love. There is nothing in this universe that does not belong. We belong. Who can judge? Who condemn? It's uncharted territory, a foreign land. No map, no model, no script ...no matter. The universe is vast and we have but moments of existence, and we're here! To be on the same planet, in the same universe, out of all the eons. Imagine the chance! It is enough, my friend.
