here i am
right here
write now
wherever you are
i am here
we are speaking

a b i d i n g

together
son, daughter,
wife, brother
sister, mother
grandchild, friend
descendent

in these binding words
that run through the you
that run through the me
here we are in silence

look for me
in these dark corners
between the lines
and you will find
i am the soft whisper
of quiet thought
hiding in your mind
embracing you

here

now

forever.
