Connection

"Peering Through"       ©Maleko 2012

The anger alarms me
The passion unnerves me
The power frightens me
The presence fills me

My body is frozen
My mind is stalled
My heart is racing
My life appears before

The gentleness holds me
The beauty tracks me
The hope beckons me
The love entraps me

I sit in muted silence
I dread the moments
I fear what this way comes
I shrink from the union of souls
