The funny thing is that I already knew

The funny thing is that I already knew

I am scared of you
yet so in awe of the One Mind that knows all
the sound between the silence and the word
and since you knew what now for my heart
what is your plan
to string me along
i go willingly
yes i am sprung on you
it is the wish of a lifetime
the dream of poet mind
to have someone who understands without talk
only a glance of the eye
a holding of the hand
a sweet kiss
what is better than this
to read the mind in love
to love the mind that loves you
knowing steel sharpens steel
when equals come together the earth is moved
so rare these days
it is beyond age
this wisdom thing
you either got it or don't
unless you a seeker
but seekers find what they seek
in the right places
when the student is ready, you have heard
the teacher appears
and yet the teacher
always learns from the student

The funny thing is that I already knew
you are simply too much
in all my travels
no one like you
one of a kind
a sweet blessing in my midst
who came to claim a poet's dream
the master teacher
and yet he is in awe
of his student
what wonder is this
when I see you coming toward me
a wind surrounds you
swirling swirling
a dance of the dervishes accompany your stride
the wind blows you to me
my arms open wide to enfold the greatness of your spirit
I am here at your pleasure
do with me as you wish
no abuse please.
Yet I have no fear of this
I know you already know this.

Ah, the air is so fresh
we must go to the ocean soon
I want to walk on the shore
barefoot in the sand as the tide comes upon us
holding hands in the wind
as the dervish dance and swirl.
