The chance
A woman and a man meet when they are not looking, within their silence, their souls catch fire.
Their bodies pause as their secrets come unfastened, memories cascade out, like friends with surprises.
They find a time which stretches their sense of life, as they welcome messengers from other worlds.
Far inside arises a feeling that will end only when they have completed what they are called to live.
They breathe together and consider each other’s hearts, making room , even for the dark.
They grow apart so they can be together. Their one candle requires two flames. Their sexual affirms and brings a future. Music sounds that only they can hear.
They meet difficulty. Their wild natures test their strength. They feel invaded by coincidences They face the severe consequences of remaining asleep.
Time makes them weaker and more familiar. They look back and find reasons to quit. They find God only after the worst has happened.
The war between them they discover is inside each of them. They find they can only say Yes after they have learned to say No. Something is whispered in both of them that remains as courage.
They hold on, as they fear for their lives They are bound together by a force that is so deep it is simple For their love has blessed even their misunderstandings, their loneliness, their differences, they’re being friends, and strangers to each other.

The journey through relationship in its polarities... and the joint state in being/living together through such a shared state in uniting them is captured powerfully and nicely in your piece. Thanks for the post

I LOVE THE OPENING. SO MANY OF THE REALLY IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF OUR LIVES HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE NOT LOOKING, NOT PREPARED AND YET, IT IT THEN WITHIN THE SILENCE OF THESE MOMENTS THAT OUR SOULS CATCH FIRE. WELL DONE!
