the natural love affair
The sky and the earth blurred together
where they met
it didn’t matter who was who
it mattered they could reunite
separately by thousands of miles
only to be reunited with our eyes
they depended on us to do them this favor
we don’t even know that we do it
as our eyes fail us, they do the sky and the earth a favor
what cannot be fulfilled in physicality
is carried out in all our "failures"
we strain our eyes
only to have the sky gently blow at us
begging us to let our eyes rest
to give the earth and the sky some time alone
some time to live through us
We think we are being cheated our time on earth
with such blurred images of things so beautiful
but those things agonize in their inability to meet
We are their reunion
in the depths of our eyes their love exists
in the depths of our minds their love is fostered
in the depths of our memory their love is recalled
