Sh ... alone in the lonely spaces, centered, hold,
We find meaning in reaching each other's gold
Sanded smooth completed finished & restored,
Blushed w/interesting things we're never bored
At the core we have each other in an easy peace
Back together, special, pain torture hurt release,
Keep your face upon me ש־ל־ם bless your grace,
In the filling of a calm let a beauty slip interlace
After hoary ruin in loss, I repay my debt to you
You're safe we have purpose my everything too
Nothing's missing, find the way we lost, a hope,
Together, in the twisting hearty flavor of a rope,
Settle in the cool of a morning cultivate a respite
Flows a river of meaning, I can still feel you bite.

Sh ... alone in the lonely spaces, centered, hold,
We find meaning in reaching each other's gold
Sanded smooth completed finished & restored,
Blushed w/interesting things we're never bored
At the core we have each other in an easy peace
Back together, special, pain torture hurt release,
Keep your face upon me ש־ל־ם bless your grace,
In the filling of a calm let a beauty slip interlace
After hoary ruin in loss, I repay my debt to you
You're safe we have purpose my everything too
Nothing's missing, find the way we lost, a hope,
Together, in the twisting hearty flavor of a rope,
Settle in the cool of a morning cultivate a respite
Flows a river of meaning, I can still feel you bite.
There are times, I must confess, when I feel alone in the lonely spaces, and yet there always seems to be a maybe, almost, we'll see, just beyond the horizon--a kind of beckoning that whispers come with me--replete-- and then you become me or something else--I'm tempted to cheat.
