Travelling the Distances©

I Know...

It is said

that we just know.

And, so it is.


In a single moment,

I know

that I’ve always known you,

through all the Ages

of endless time.

Tracing my finger softly

along the contours of your face

you embrace my Celtic dance,

and your silver hair

cascades in waves

around the shoulders of your soul.

I hear the mountains

call your name,

and it echoes through the stillness

of their ancient silent spaces.


And, yet,

it is said, too,

I know you not at all.

I feel your heart,

with all its many voices.

I know the secret songs

that sing you to sleep in the night,

and shape the dreams

that show you the way.

I see your silhouette,

as it moves in slow rhythm

in the doorway of

your secret inner sanctum.


Ah, yes, I know.


Knowing

that I know these things,

YOU will know

that you will always be safe in my hands,

and that I shall always

be your shelter

in the hardest rain that falls.
