We are a Deep Conversation

What am I,
but you
searching for me
in the setting sun
and redwood trees
through snowy fields,
philosophies
grown in recess
the deep, dark secrets
hidden from reach

I am you
and you are me
linked by the loved
and lost
prizes of reverie

We are a deep conversation
of wave after wave
of ups and down poetry
written to mend
solitary time
in deep contemplation

I am your eyes
when I see the spark
of your smile
cast doubt to the shadows
and light to the mantle

I am when I love
I'm not when I hate
you are when you love
what you can never replace

You are an amazing poet!! And you just keep getting better. You should try publishing your work, if you'd like to.

Thank you Jade :)
I don't know how to go about getting anything published though.
