Steena Marie's 7th response to "IN MY FATHER'S CLOSET: A MEMOIR LIGHTS THE CORNERS OF MY MIND"

In this episode Steena Marie, my cohort in crime, discussed the reality of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee and how a pirate's treasure is a sunken chest.  We also talked about creating a container of trust for our partners. She especially liked the poem that my 2nd husband Terry wrote for me and read at our blessing ceremony. Terry Earthwind Nichols and I had been in 33 year starter marriages before we came together...

I See You Standing There In The Light of My Soul

I see you,

I see you there,

I see you there standing in the light of my Soul.

I see your eyes watching me as I manage composure.

I see your lips pursed for my kiss.

I see your fingers reaching out across your leg as if to touch me.

I see your breath first hasten, then going faster… going faster.

Can you be the one? Can you really be the one?

Can I touch your brow with hands frozen in anxiety?

Can there really be a one? Can she be mine?

Can there be a love so complete that I am finally a man?

Be true my heart for I am but mortal and cannot see through the silkiness of her heart into the Soul for which I long to be.

Her eyes are magical for they bring me to her without even a glance.

She purses her lips again at me and my heart leaps for the joy that will be.

I see you,

I see you in the light of my Soul…
