The Gift of You

                  storybook endings
                  are known before time
                  and poems never ending
                  in their journeys, still rhyme
                  our souls have a bond
                  deeper than we know
                  like words of unwritten songs
                  wanting pens to flow
                  we've joined before
                  on common ground
                  in days of yore
                  before worlds were round
                  a cosmic One
                  joined true souls
                  then allowed to become
                  the playful bold
                  but in playful play
                  of nature's game
                  I lament and pray
                  to One with no name
                  because like storybook endings
                  and poems that still rhyme
                  we were one at beginning:
                  one for all time

                                                 Joe Vernetti
