You Too are Deeply Felt (or) (The reply:)

You too are deeply felt

not only as love

but as a completeness

representing the best

of my gratitude to

all womanhood that

has blessed my life

You are a reflection of

the possibilities of

a togetherness

whose outlines

imagined

have not yet

been fully danced

And thus

I hold you

instead from afar

a developing reflection

of not only

my mind's possibilities but

perfection itself unfolding

It is as would

a soft shimmering galactic crystal

emerge in luminescence

from a rising flower

of shining fire

at the still quiet edge of

the meditater’s reach

Wish we were here or,

somewhere in between -

Held by laughter and

the uniting of our sex.

The other part of you

who imagines strongly

your spatial absence.
