INTERPLAY

we do what we do;
we say what we say.
never really knowing
the eggs we lay.

words are impressions
of what lies inside.
and your immediate reaction
should never be denied.

hatchlings, each,
nuance, endeavor.
truth, proof.
we reach, measure.

teaching, learning,
mutual exchange.
allowance, balance,
Selves, claimed.

one dimension, two dimension,
three dimension, four.
step by step,
open the door.

thoughts, feelings,
reactions’ information
uncovers discoveries
of recoils or invitations.

all we have
is all we are;
fruits of effort,
mend or mar.

yielding to feelings
creates interplay;
speech, silence,
pause and engage.

tiptoe, let go,
move in and out.
find your way,
belief and doubt.

currents reside
in words between two.
both said and unsaid,
each message comes through

stream of conscious,
conscience clear,
beginnings and endings,
the thread, held dear.

to be, to see,
to know Another
is gift, reward,
as friends become lovers.
