She Is...Indeed...His Confidant Poem by James B. Earley

All along she was there hiding
...Literally...in plain sight
This jewel his soul discovered
...'Twas late one mystic night

The Universe...spectacular
...Cosmos….extraordinaire
An out...of world….experience
...Theirs….a spiritual....love affair

Lovely...though yet untouchable
...Her circumstance indeed as such
On her finger...life placed a ring
….Respected...it was...as much

Pursuing instead...a path of friendship
...Though it wasn't..in fact his choice
It was...the agonizing….anguish
….Of that innermost...aching...voice

From a distance at life's insistence
...Loving her he will….having her..he won't
Despite it all….he's found a blessing
...For she is...his confidant

This radiant jewel...his soul discovered
...Indeed...'twas late….one mystic night
All along...she was there...hiding
….Literally...years...just in...plain sight
