Embodiment
At the rising of the sun
I read your words afresh
and at its setting,
they appeared to me again.
I encountered you
and you me through epistles
written not on tablets of stone
nor pen on paper
but in cyberspace;
kindness evoked kindness
charity elicited charity
beauty conjured beauty
exchanging respect for respect
human hearts transferring meaning,
finite minds exchanging ideas.
Words taking on human form
packaged in corporeal blessedness,
awakened earthborn synergy
and mortal exchange.
Perennial intentions
ensued their own evanescence
as you dissipated like vapor.
I looked for you morning and night
but with the setting of the sun
You were gone forever.
About this poem
In our search for meaning, we often find it in the embodiment of corporeal being.
