You know the path I've followed
Just as you know where my heart is
And you know what lies within it
You have the freedom to enter, and roam,
Within my mind, bringing light...
While seeking the dark and hidden corners...
She has seen the corners of my soul
That no one else has seen...
For she truly knows my soul inside out
She knows the quiet ways to let me
Know she is near... and from her
I have or feel no fear.
We are kindred spirits, she and I...
For in ways, I am you
And you are me...
Don't you see?
I cannot, nor will not, forget the one
I have called my Silky Shadow...
For she truly knows me...
And knows me well.
We are connected, I know not how or why
But she has taught me not to question...
Where and when normally I would...
She knows, through our quiet
And innate connection, sometimes
With just a few words being exchanged
When I am in deep sorrow...
Or when I am deeply hurt
And I soon come to her
Or she to me... bringing quiet solace.
It may be just a few simple words
Or the simple act of soothing the
Other's troubled brow... while one
Quietly shushs the other... thus
Allowing the mind to still and
Become quiet once again.
Just as I can sense, from her words,
When she is in need of the comfort
Or solace that I may provide to her.
From her words, I know her mind...
Just as she does mine.
I am truly blessed by her and with her
For I am she... and she is me...
Don't you see?
At times she speaks for me
And I for she...
We are each other...
Don't you see?

When one speaks from the heart about the way someone touches their soul... the words just seem to flow.
Silky has come to mean much to me... in a myriad of ways.
There is not any one specific way... there are a multitude
of ways.
Victoria_2001_02769over 19 years agoAuthorSirWinston:
I only just now found your comments and praise, and am deeply honoured. Knowing what Silky means to you, your praise, that one so unworthy as I, could "show" another, or others, a way of understanding... I consider high praise indeed.
Thank you for your words, and the feelings behind them. I continue to wish you well, and may happiness fill your lives... both of you.

This poem touches me deeply, It is wonderfully written, and truly reveals in words what so seldom can be expressed in person. That your connection is deep abiding and of a binding nature between your two souls is plain. I think this a poetic masterpiece.
Your Knight
Victoria_2001_02769almost 20 years agoAuthorLet me correct you, if I may.
The three periods, together in this fashion (...) are not an ellipsis. The three periods together, are an acceptable usage within MSWord, to indicate a continuation of thought, or as an accepted pause.
The ellipsis of which you speak... are three dots, spaced out, (. . .) and are an indication of words left out as in a speech or quote:
"Ask not what your country can do for YOU,
Ask what YOU . . ."
(John Fitzgerald Kennedy, inauguration speech, January 20, 1960)
