Unknowing and Unknown

So vast a space between us, 
do our shadows even touch?
With such a simple question 
am I asking far too much?
Bound together, You and I, 
unknowing and unknown, 
companions in our common life, 
and lovers ... yet alone.

I am here, You are there, 
so love becomes a thoroughfare, 
an avenue of rich delight transporting 
us through endless night.

With hearts unfurled against the stars 
you sing to me of secret things to heal
the soul of all its scars and raise our 
thoughts as if on wings.

And as we sail a moonlit sky past 
the eagles soaring by, you take me 
deep, you take me high...I cannot 
sleep nor can I cry, yet I am not afraid 
to fly.

No, I am not afraid to fly.
