We’ve never met

By Lynn Long

We’ve never met
And I love you already
I’ve always loved you
And I know this now
All the dreams
The love songs
The seeking
You’ve always been
How can it be
For we’ve never met
Yet, I see you in dream
White hibiscus in a coral sea
Butterfly kisses
And the moon has wings
Purple haze 
Midnight blue
And she watches the world
through eyes brand new
Flamingos fly
Amid starlit blooms
...And she sits on a mountain
Empowered in truth
I thought I'd write a poem
Perhaps about the moon
lulling me to sleep
Or the stars in which upon
I dream, but the morning sun
took my words
His beauty- a silence
Only my soul
heard
I would write you a poem
If only my words could make their way home…
