IF

In the minds eye, I'm not so far away...

If you hold out your hand,

in the whispers,

I'll become the zephyr,

and besiege you.

If your eyes upon the stars,

in the crystalline darkness,

I'll become the moon,

and the light shall guide you.

If you rest upon the ground,

in the warmth,

I'll become the grass,

and embrace you.

If you turn outside,

in the wetness,

I'll become the rain,

and upon your forehead, kiss you.

If you free the air,

in the light of day,

I'll become the sun,

and smile for you.

Between the miles-

If you need me,

If you need a friend,

let me be the friend,

I want to be

not so easy to express how we wish to embrace somebody sometimes, to make them safe, to give them unconditional love, to give them the stars. yet you found a way to do so, to speak your heart true, and personify nature in a way that you take what is sacred in existence, and wrap it around in beauty the one you care about deeply.

what a gift you have with words lynn

Thank you so much, Jesse :)

If...?
Ah, now we see the egg of all our mysterious longings. Always following, "If" is, "Then". Action/reaction. Cause/effect. Energy/change. Disconnect/entropy. God/life. Love/Possibilities. On and on it goes...
We are sentient. We at least know we desire to know... Then let us resolve to be present. To experience the world we find ourselves blessed with/cursed with. (Whatever road you desire to follow).
What we desire will be. It is just as simple as this. We may not ever understand how this is true in our lives, but I really believe it is a truth.
You desire to be a friend... A true calling and a gift. Weather or not it was accepted you already are the gift of a friend by thinking these thoughts and writing these words.
A wonderful expression of devotion and caring.
