I am the vibration of the sea
in song thrumming across earth and rock
I am the haunting in human eyes
the pain that criss-crosses like joy
in choral voices moving toward the sky.
You are the intrigue in the puzzle
the missing piece to set the picture whole
You are the frustration in emotion
the digging deeper to find what love believes
when it is awake and resolute in its vocation.
I am the burning of the fire
lean over winter, full of summer fury
I am the voice in the cracks and shadows
foraging for kindred and kinsman alike
wanting to etch out a new world.
You are the enigma in speech
stacking blocks to form walls ten feet high
You are the warrior in mind
defending borders and freedom
with the spears of your tongue and heart.
I am the fear in giving
until my heart bursts from the devotion
I am the ache in the land
biting its tongue so it will not scream
wanting to live even as I am dying.
You are the something I try to understand
each layer both foreign and familiar
You are the different side of the fence
reaching over to find my hand
watching me fall down when I can’t stand.
I am the passion in the rain
minuscule drops pregnant with the storm
I am the silence and serenity in goodbye
We part, come together and part once more
We are part of each other and part of no more.
