Shared enthusiastic curiosity
between two or more

May also become felt 
as mutually assured
active hope

For the hours I count in hopes of all of them to freeze

Reaching into the cracks of the blacktop bed 
Still and inaudible

Transition 
from the mind’s condition
revealed God’s unconditional love!

I had been my own man within usual concepts,
I needed transition from carnal mind’s inept,
I realized error of my ways.

Atmosphere is anybody there
World spinning around is anybody here
 my love the skies are so great
Our hearts melt in the clouds wake

Rain clouds away drippings 
Misunderstandings Miss identifications till...

I see your face and remember what I have lost
Due to miscommunications, and words unspoken
