SYNERGY!

 
Synergy!
That awesome energy
Bursting forth
When two souls truly meet.
Complete
Belief and trust
Transcend
Those sad norms of the society
In which we live
And to which we give
Far too much of our lives.
In the process,
Many become obsessed by
The paranoia to own and possess
One another.
Yes!
We're often caught in that mere hive
Of pure economic activity!
And we,
Like most
Become blinded from the ability
To simply see
Our soul-mate
For who they really are.
We easily become less
Of what we could have been.
Chasing dreams;
To be seen to be succeeding.
Oh! For the ability
To pause;
To ponder;
The magnificence and the true joy
Of being together.
The ability to see
Eternity together as a reality.
To be free enough to say;
"I truly trust you."
To be near enough to say;
"I need you."
To be secure enough to say:
"I will love you forever."
