Sleepless nights spent
Dreaming.
Floating on breezes exhaled
hours prior.
Oh to be a breeze lying on her
moving gently, deliberately;
an invisible hand caressing
silken threads.
Timeless wisps of safety
enduring ages and striking
the very heart of man.
Shoulder length calm like stillness.
Empty space - infinite, complete,
perfect.
What place in this perfection
have I?
Interaction forever changes
the object of affection...
Heisenberg be damned!
Just as the electron joins an atom
so to do I forever change her.
Should I
become part of her world?
Perfection spoiled
or
perfection perfected?
A selfish, penetrative act
of love not unrequited

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
