Intimacy

This is what I had hoped for
but never expected,
the same color
but with texture so different
it feels new.

About this poem

I have been thinking much about intimacy lately, not the “code word for sex” version on intimacy, but the deeper intimacy of the heart. I claim no revelations or wisdom on the subject, just thoughts and feelings.

The picture was taken in DC. I can’t tell you what it’s called because the picture of the title card I snapped was so blurry. But I knew when I saw it there was a poem in it somewhere.
