Click hereOur friendship deepens
with easy slowness.
I feel your gradual trust
bloom,
my own tendriling out.
We learn with childlike affection
that each is safe for the other.
Fondness moves between us
bridging into tender vulnerability.
I think I will be your friend
a long time.
Shyly, we turn our pages
for each other,
our bindings stiff and tight.
We are careful with each other.
I don't read you quickly.
The writing in your margins
must be puzzled out.
I trace my fingers
carefully over the letters,
and you read mine
with brow furrowed
with concentration.
So serious
a soul.
So sweet.
You place some of my words in your journal.
I read them,
and feel union.
You understand me,
and my binding softens,
into buttery kidskin.
I am greatful for you
in my life.

most difficult of all,
you read each other, and discover
as your words flow,
you are each other.

Tathagataabout 19 years agoportrait of sharing and trust , how it grows and how simple things mean so much.
There is something childlike here, it is pure and honest and very moving, to me at least.
It is puppy love that balances on the edge of true understanding.
A moment, in my opinion, that hasn't been captured often enough.
This does that moment proud.
Thank you
