The Understanding
I know you…
that form
your many moods
how you make me feel.
I know you…
your sense of humor
your timing
your rhyme and reason.
I know you…
because our understanding
runs deep
poetry lives in me.
Poetry lives in us.

Capricious Poet 
It lives in us, it breathes through us, it grows… it is us. I love it.

because I am you.
Our understanding runs deep
It is most heartening to know oneself. Not many can do it. Not many can avoid living in denial!

As long as poetry is alive, there is hope for us as individuals, and hope for the human race.

It’s ‘humor’ and ‘timing’ sometimes catch us unaware, isn’t it? A beautiful ode to poetry.

when it’s from a place/space of knowing … the words are.
and when it’s not from this space/place …. the words are.
and it’s in the trusting we thrust and move forwards to come to know. and the words —
are.
lovely poem.

Love the photo that accompanying your poem, Bekkie. There are times, I wish that I had this confidence that your poem speaks of.

You do, it’s buried deep inside. It’s there waiting to be explored and fully known. Believe it.

The confidence in this piece is effective. I caught it! I’m looking at poems saying “i know you ….”
