Its the Knowing....

The complex understanding between two lovers.

Its those little things so sweetly said, the firelight
captured in a moment and bringing a twilight
into sharp focus as the evening spills its wonders
on our day.

Its those things we knew that existed between us
not spoken, not proclaimed or shouted yet
the signs and symbols, gathered day by day
until we were sure we were reading the signals right.

Its the way we understood how we were inextricably
intertwined in some strange magical spell
that came upon us unexpectedly and drew
us into that same circle of knowing.

Maybe it was the voice, the words, the visuals
maybe it was the differences that found solutions
in the knowing, because it seemed built 
on  a mountain of moments with memories
that spiralled us into whirlpools of love.

Even now, as we hold tight together
in this knowing we look back at the journey
we undertook in the knowing.

What a beautiful piece of poetry this is Marshall.
When did you sneak this one? :-)

Just when you thought I disappeared I surface from the deep, with snorkel and mask, intent on causing havoc again.? Wazzup Madam, have you been on your best behaviour these last two centuries?

[Matching Socks]

Yes, missed having you around here. Vacationing?

Nope, just working my butt off. Had to get Continents on Fire completed for publication and got started on the second part of the Trilogy. Endless days of editing and changing things around. It'll be like this for another two weeks I guess. Then its work and fun and frolic again. How bout yourself?

Just writing my little poems still. :)
