i close my eyes
and i

into myself
into a space
that i thought would always be
Empty

holding my breath
i submerge myself
in what once was
what could be
what may not be for now
who knows??

paths converging
as would be lovers
become lovers
of mind
body
and soul
two becoming one
in that split second in time

for one beautiful moment
in the fabric of life ...
two souls merging as one - yet still holding its own identity

visiting that secret place
of what could be
and now what once was

just checking once again
that this empty space
now a secret place
that this presence
of me
of you
and the us
was real
and not something
that my lonely soul imagined
