You know the answer, you suspect
you are the only one in the classroom
who knows the answer, because the person
in question is yourself, and on that
you are the greatest living authority,

You don't raise your hand and there is
some essential beauty in your fingers,
which aren't even drumming, but lie
flat and peaceful.

Real connection (and if it's LOVE, then real love)
goes beyond those not-so-perfect and superficial and idiosyncratic things that simply make us individuals.

at the center of who we are
the very essence of our being. — Kelli Jae Baeli

no object of the world,
Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing ...

the embers
left from early fires,
... shall duly flame again — Nicholas Sparks
