This beautiful poem suggests that the story of two people meeting or coming together to form parts of the same mysterious unit is mirrored in the images of nature.
Thank you, Jonathan. And happy St. Patrick's Day to you. All I can say is that Substack is a great resource and has some remarkable poets whose work needs to be recognised and encouraged.
"was i the sun or the river
and were you the bird or the branch
when we were drawn together"
a great beginning!

Thank you, Martin. You are so generous with your comments and restacks! I want to be more like you in that regard. Happy St. Patrick's Day, btw.

Indeed, beautiful image.
Jonathan has the blessings of sunrises and sunsets whispering the words.
…and you and i take turns being the wave and the trough. A fine visualization, Jonathan.
Thank you, Gary
yay! reminds me of the famous zen koan:
Two monks were arguing about a flag. One said: "The flag is moving."
The other said: "The wind is moving."
The sixth patriarch happened to be passing by. He told them: "Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving."
Thanks, Broo, I love that you brought up that koan. Perfect!
Beautiful poem!
Thank you, Harley
Gorgeous!
