The Dissolving

Poem 7Part II

I said, Come closer. You answered, There is no nearer than this. I said, Tell me who You are. You answered, Tell me who asks. The veil I wore was thin as a sigh yet it shaded the sun for years. One tear of surrender fell, and daylight walked through me. I reached for Your face and found no features, only the clear blue of being. What was missing was the idea of distance. What remained was the shine.
