intoxicating splendor

Posted on Updated on

where do I exist, dear Beloved?
one minute I am here
another, with you
what place do I call mine
this or that?

what is this space
separating yet binding us
where I stay
enchanted and scattered
like a million stars
reaching out to the Sun

    My place, my existence is with you. We are bound together and yet we are separated by seconds.

        It is within the context of appreciation and attention our innate genius emerges most effectively.

    Greetings,

    Thank you for this!

    This is a penetratingly lovely poem of that peculiar experience of the (seeming) tidal path of connection, separation, longing…

    All good wishes,

    robert

    Himani, there is no place to call yours.
    You belong everywhere.

    No separation.

      everywhere and nowhere, what a lovely thought! they say we are bound by our bodies, but I guess its really not the case 🙂

        Maybe we are bound by our bodies, but a whole universe exists in my head.

        And now your poem does too.

        If we can touch like that, right across oceans, then maybe our bodies are less bounded than many think.
