my soul mate

I see your reflection upon waters so still and tranquil,

Are you: my love, my life, my soul mate? do I dare to dream,

Can we stand hand in hand at peace with the understanding of time in this moonlight?

Or will the cold winds of change blow upon our earthly spirits,

Would this change our intimacy, to the discomfort of being apart,

Like ripples betraying still waters, will you stay with me?

Or run for the shelter of the near shores,

That voice always calling your name.

If I dare show you my heart, will you cherish the passion it would bring?

Or slowly destroy the life within with promises that will never be,

When I fall will you extend your inner spirit to catch my worthlessness,

Or cast me aside to be forgotten,

Only to replenish yourself with the next winds of change.

I used to wonder these things then I realized that it was in turn my futile attempts to force things to happen and now that I don't worry about it as much it is slowly unfurling like the pedals of a flower in the early morning light; slowly, elegantly and with a subtle grace I can not deny.

oh.. the uncertainty of love undeclared.. simply stated and yet.. engagingly eloquent..
