The sky above them
was painted
an intense silky black,
as if it were a bridge spanning
uncharted darkened rivers --
arching across unexplored
separate distant horizons
Casting an uncommon spell;
seizing hallowed heartbeats,
exhaling bated breaths
Two boundless souls
collide unbidden,
like lightening splits
the unblushing silence
deep within
Cleansing the darkest
hues of melancholy
with the gentle touch
of velvet rain
For they had walked
the longest mile
in another's shoes,
unknowingly,
alone together
between the telling
poesy lines
Swimming blindly
where tempest
currents thrive untamed
Harvesting the bounty
of another soul’s
deepest ocean tides
Overflowing beyond
the heart’s hidden music
where the softest touch
of kindness abides
Plucked harp stings
rejoice in the harmony
uttering anthems of an
unspoken dawning light
wild is the wind ... November 1st, 2016
