"In You"

Maieh has been very busy with school but recently sent me this poem.  - poetheart 07/04/02

It is the beauty in you that I see.
Innate. Infinite. Real.
The kind not all are fortunate
  to glimpse upon
One which from the beginning
  held me at awe
And each day, I see it grow.
Fillimg me, completing me.
Your laughter, tears, confusion
  anguish and pain...
Your mere presence that soothes me,
  mind and heart.
It is in you that I have known
  the gifts of life
It's enigmatic existence
  for which I have no answers
Its complexity and relativity
  that leaves me confounded.
It is in you that I have found singularity
  and somewhat sense of peace.
It is in you...that in irony
I feel without touch
I breathe without air...that
I hide without cover
It is in you...that I have found and lost me.
