Thing have been really hectic the past couple of days, but rest assured, I'll bring you all up to date soon. Until then, you can enjoy this. It's really fresh...
How long
will it take
for us to
find
each other?
Are you near me
almost under my nose
or are there oceans
vast and deep
literally and figuratively
between us?
Have we met?
Have we seen
each other
not knowing
but deriving pleasure
from the thrill
of that possibility?
How will we know?
By something
you ( I )
say?
A gesture, a comment
I ( you )
make?
Can you imagine how
it will be?
How we will
help
one another
grow?
How I will be
your strength
Faithful
Always
constant and consistent
And you
will complete me
cloaking my prose
with your melody
Poetry e-motion...
Do you yearn
as I yearn
are you tired of waiting
as I am?
I thought so...
See you soon...

Therefore, the pure righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light; they do not complain of evil, but increase justice; they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith; they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom. - Rav Kook
Love Is The Motive...
It is a singular force that drives us like no other. The sages teach that the highest level of serving God is serving Him with Love. It is the motivation throughout our waking moments, what keeps us going, what takes us on to the next day, and is one of the most powerful tools known to Man. It has the power to heal like a soothing balm, and the ability to crush and destroy if misused. We must learn how to utilize this tool, and unite all of world Jewry, and ultimately, the world. Then we will experience Tikkun Olam, and our exiles will be gathered in Peace. So go ahead, make your own credo; finish off that line of thought. Love Is The Motive...

btw, this is my favorite line of the poem -
cloaking my prose
with your melody
wow...
Glad you liked it, Dreamer...
Not to sound all into myself, but that's my favorite part, too, along with "Poetry e-motion", which was a little play on poetry in motion...
