I'm in that place again
The crowd has left, the energy dropped
the light
the candle
the quiet murmur of music
These are my companions
in this place
In this place
in this place I long,
for hands to warm
for breath other than my own
for the warmth of other.
It lies beyond my reach
slips through my fingers
Jaded shards rattle around
the emptiness
cut my soul
It's ever evasive
It's ever longing
Waking up with eyes to look at
It's NOT my completion I seek
Rather the THOU in a journey toward completion
WIth every exhale the roots of desire deepen
The beauty of life amplified beyond self
it exists between
I-THOU
I-THOU
come to rest
in this fertile soil
cultivated with love and discipline
in anticipation of your arrival
come to rest
rest

ooooo.... i like this poem, adam. i like this one a lot! one of the greatest and most personal mysteries for each of our lives- discovering our "thou."
"Thou and Thou only,
First in my heart."
Hi "this girl" welcome to my blog. Where's the quote from? Do I know you?
it's from the hymn "be thou my vision":
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
