    • is doin some Solitary Thinkin-- Lee Ann Womack

    Space and Time
    Were you trying to fit yourself in again?
    In all the beauty of the world...
    I can't claim what is heaven sent
    Everything's spinning in a glorious whirl.
     
    Nothing I could ever say or do
    could alter our misgivings
    but through it all I saw my way...
    the path, and I caught up to you.
     
    Yes without logic...
    standing here within space and time.
    No magic to report
    No cynical retort
    Just sitting there listening to your rhyme
    together we built a fort.
     
    Pieces fit together
    in the oddest of ways
    I could've sat there waiting
    just passing through my days
    but it didn't take you long
    to take my hand and run
    before I thought of anything
    we were out and in the sun
     
    Space and time were in and around us
    But through everything a thread
    we couldn't see 'cause all the dust
    to eachother back it lead.
     
    I knew just what to feel
    the way you grasped my hand
    I heard you crying in the night
    you're heart turning to sand
     
    And yes...
    when the wind blew at your soul
    your heart crumbled like sand
    I lovingly picked every single grain
    and tenderly stitched with my own hands
     
    Without a word...
    I knew exactly each grain's place
    my own heartstrings as my thread.
    your scars, with my fingers, I gently traced
    and I knew the pain they read.
     
    I guess I must have heard you
    before I knew to listen
    I started in that direction
    as you called out in the distance
     
    I started out just wandering
    I started out just there
    I started out just thinking
    where to go, just where?
     
    I think I must have heard you
    before I knew to hear
    God sent me through the bushes
    So I could calm your fear
     
    So in you, a friend, I could confide
    My heart I would no longer hide
    God sent you wandering in the field
    So for that I may have a shield
     
    I know I must have heard you
    I know because we're here..
    Amid all the chances,
    and despite all of our fears.
     
    Through random space and time
    our meeting quite did not make sense
    Oh how our paths combined!
     
    With random speeds we did progress
     
    Me with space...
    and you with time.

    I really like this poem. The way the words and spaces seem to puncuate themselves.
