Infinitely

Infinitely

A simple "hello" from which our journey commenced

Never a regret from that moment hence.

Who is this, gifted to me by God's most loving grace?

Lifting me from the shadows as our hearts interlace.

Someone I know and yet would never meet

Life trails so parallel on never-intersecting streets.

No description exists.  Words fail to say

Whatever we have shall never fade away.

Never together.  Always apart.

Love grows and strengthens in each other's hearts.

Destiny divides.  We yearn across the seas

Each other's pillar forever we are meant to be.

Beyond lovers, brother and sister, too.

Strange kinship binds two into a singular unit through.

Completion - no other word can explain

Sheltering each other as Life sends its pain.

For whatever it's worth, I say these words to you

I will always be beside you as God wants me to.

God-given.  God-sent.  This gift I embrace.

No road too difficult.  All I will face.

The strength from Him given because of you I grow

No obstacle too impossible for me to overthrow.

Dusty and weary, upon the dirt roads I roam

A singular thought of you - I soon find my way home.

How pure is the heart of someone who loves unconditionally. I commend someone like this...or like me? LOL. We are sisters, sweet Rachelle!
May God always bless you throughout your journey because you have always that best (not only good) intention for other people.

[Rachelle]

Salamat, sis! May God always bless you, too!

"God-given. God-sent. This gift I embrace.
No road too difficult. All I will face."
I like the tone and reason for the poem. Most of must struggle to know what is good and needed. I like the above lines. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you, Coyote Poetry, for your kind words!

This poem inspires me to write the following tiny poem which you may keep as your own:

Kismet

When Kismet brings us satisfaction, then we call her God.
This is how we tend to think of Kismet's graceful nod.
First there's one, and then there's two peas within a pod
growing from our universe's enigmatic sod.

I have yet to conjure up within my imaginatin an Equation for Everything, a Source for Everything, and in all honisty I'm not vain enough to think that I have. My imagination has it limits. I have no followers, nor do I desire any.

[Rachelle]

????? Why would you have to do that and why would you want that? Just go out and be someone for somebody - a man/woman for others - and don't expect anything in return. Enough with argumentation, speculation, suppositions, surmising, et. al. Find someone, do something good for him and don't expect anything back. Then, do it over and over again for others. No equations, expressions, algorithms…. Just do things for others without expecting anything back.

[Aethereal]

I'm not a speculator who personifies the totality of all that which I'm not yet aware of, and considers this act of personification an antidote for human naivety. I'm an honest person to everyone as well as myself, and this is really all we expect of ourselves and others. I make no self-serving speculations. All human beings are naïve, and I'm no exception. The beginning of wisdom is to be aware of our limitations. I've been helping others without expecting anything back for years, nor do I expect them to agree with me for doing doing so. Every human being follows a different path, and I don't expect them to follow mine any more than I would expect my shoes to fit them.

[Rachelle]

That's truly good then… but don't waste time talking to me…there's a whole world to help - to do something good for. I wish you all the best.

[Aethereal]

I wish you all the best too as you blaze your own path through the wilderness of your naivety. The best way to help others is to give them the means to help themselves so they don't need you anymore for anything else other than friendship. This is what Free Enterprise is all about.

[Rachelle]

Good grief, Aethereal! Must you always try to put people down? Ha! Ha!
Spent enough time in the backwoods or depressed areas and have been shot at by militants and the army or risk molestation or rape just to reach people ever since I was 16. You don't know my country.
At any rate, don't fuss with me. Go do whatever you can in the US. I'll do mine in my own country. No more talking. Just do stuff for others.

[Aethereal]

I'm not putting you down for blazing the path that you blaze through your life, for that's your destiny. We each follow that path that we each make for ourselves for better or worse. It's the shoe that you find that fits you, and you should be comfortable with it, but you should not try to force your shoe onto others anymore than I should try the same with the shoe that fits me. We each live in a big complex world.

[Rachelle]

Which is why you shouldn't waste your time talking to me.... it's 4 am. Work starts in two hours. Adios!

[Aethereal]

Adios! I really don't think that I'm wasting my time communicating with you or anyone else. You're just a valuable to me as anyone else. Each person on Earth has story to tell like none other.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i have someone like this...we feel we might meet in another life...because in this one we are running parallel to each other but due to circumstances that have been a constant over 30 years...we never seem to end up on the same plane...our thoughts are there...and we embrace that, and each other..within our minds.

[Rachelle]

You have fully understood our circumstances well. Wishing you all the best in your own journey.

beautiful song.

[Lyn Anderson]

This can mean so much. I think you sell yourself short as a mere "technical writer" -- you are growing, learning, and this is an example of your journey.

[Rachelle]

Thank you! Have not been writing for quite a while...

The strength from Him given because of you I grow
No obstacle too impossible for me to overthrow.

Dusty and weary, upon the dirt roads I roam
A singular thought of you - I soon find my way home.

The whole journey of read was mesmerizing however, above last lines you nailed it my friend...100/100

[Rachelle]

Thank you, A. Amos! Appreciate your kind words.

[Sami Khalil]

I feel the separation even temporarily between lovers or husband and wife by water and air or if I take it another way a mother anticipating a soon to be born baby and that they are God given gift to love and cherish. A wonderful poem whichever one it is ...:)....

[Rachelle]

Shokran, Sami!

[Sami Khalil]

Always welcome...:)...............................
