Gratitude Poem to Maria Popova

I love the way
You braid your mind
Into my magnetic field

We never met
Yet you’ve cocooned my soul
A strange alchemic geometry of stars
And nature and dust and faith
In the unseen

The warp and weft of words
To which you were not born
On the loom of your mighty heart
Is a wisdom tapestry
A banquetous marginalian
For the having
For the holding

All time is yours
To rove amid other poets,
Artists, minds of science,
Divine hallways
Angelic lovers
Mystery

All time is mine
To remember the future
When our entangled photos
Will forget we were ever
Apart
A part of me
Is already with you
Thank you
