We Spark

We spark...

You, fire-bright

And strong

Me, muted, cool

We spark...

You, pressing, questioning

And sharp

Me, pondering, hushed

We spark...

You, eager, hungry

And impatient

Me, reflective, shy and musing

We spark...

And honestly

I don’t recognize much of me

In the lovely fiery power of you

We spark...

It’s true

And how I miss 

The gleaming flame 

The arcing light

The blazing ray


How I miss

The kindled current

White and hot

Between us two
