Feelings--By Annie Johnson--United States

Feelings

Thoughts of you move through me
Like sunlight in my veins;
Lighting up every part of me
With thoughts in living light.
Near you are in feature.
Near you are in beauty
Marked by depth of love
In unending earthquakes
Of deepest devotion.
You shake my being awake
With such timeless agonies
Of desire and longing.
You are so much a part of me
That I feel you are me.
I feel that if I pinched myself,
Somewhere in the world,
You would mutter, “Ouch!”
