US, IN THE BEGINNING

by Sami Gemini - Not entered

Where is the beginning of this circle?
Am I reaching inside out or outside in to you?
Have you reconnoitered the terrain as any good soldier would do?

and

Can you hear the sea and the wind;
feel the sunwarm or the fogcool and finally still
catch the planes of my face in sleep or laughing
or crying
and still want to be close? 
Are you committed to me?
Are we a circle?
      of light,
          of joy,
              of love?

Reason for writing:

    Written 5/11/89; new love.  We have been married for about 7 1/2 years now..hope it lasts..no surety ever because the wind and ocean are always moving and so is love, sometimes he feels distant now...don't know where he's going.
