Authenticity

I was wondering why
I often think of you
After all these years
Now that all the pain
And dreams have disappeared.
It's not about the romance
Or the sensuality
I am not so hungry
Nor am I lonely.
When you come to mind
I can feel
The magnetic force
Of your being,
An inviting absence
Of a person or persona,
Of self image,
No sign of any class
Middle high or low,
I can safely touch your caste
And tumble into
Your authenticity.
In your world
There's room enough
For me.

Daka,

Bet you I know why. You are connecting with an authentic place within yourself,
though longing could also be playing a part in this.

Hello Steven

Thanks for your response.

Longing for, admiring, and aspiring to her authenticity, I think sums it up. I wish I could say that I have attained her degree of authenticity, but I can only confess to aspiration presently.

Hi Daka,

Thanks for your response. We each do the best we can, with regards to
authenticity, etc. That's all we can do.
