Na/GloPoWriMo Day 12 asks that we who take up the challenge of finding something dull that we’re willing to give away.  Well, sorry, but I’m twisting this into something that can never be owned, only given and that is so extraordinary that it can never become truly routine or dull.  

Relative Complicity
by Michael Romani

There is something to this accidental complicity
Of developing an extraordinary routine of simplicity
And it seems that despite the great distance 
Our attraction finds it's deep persistence

It seems that in talking together over the phone
We find a oneness that we will never again be alone
Because despite whatever distance there may be
There is always a bit of me in you and you in me

It's not really a thing of any great mystery
Your words of love pull me stronger than gravity
Einstein found that love was the greatest power
And in so pronouncing found his greatest hour

In this world filled with the good and the mean
To me it's always seemed a little bit obscene
That there are those among us who find it routine
To find an imposture of love as their scene

Never realizing all of the beauty and rarity
Of a true love recognized with a bit of clarity
Knowing that this is the thing worth holding onto
This thing that keeps growing between me and you

Though it's true there is some considerable distance
Physically between us, still there is a steady insistence
That we are really only just as far as each other's heart
And every time we speak, you and I know that from the start

You there in your soul are so very breathtakingly beautiful
Making each moment spent a spectacular kind of wonderful
As we grow together I see how you are of a love shown
That makes me brave enough to dare all that is unknown

You have shared you as ever unfolding and being tender
Helping me be strong enough to grow into surrender
And I know that our journey is and will never be routine
But rather instead it is the power of love rarely seen
