your asking why


your asking why i do what i do
in the way that you do, leaves me
in a place of wishing

i wish to meet you half way-
as branches do,  sweeping across
country lanes, branch tips meeting

by chance, touching as in a duet
for clarinet and piano- the wind
filling in what the keys cannot

the ivories plotting the rich story
with wind rushing in to embellish
fortissimo without being  frantic

peace pervades through inter-listening
half steps of hide and go seek: harmony
found, cheek to cheek-no one does speak

sounds spill watery essence
sharing, in kindness
the tenderness of being
