This is a gorgeous poem, and I absolutely love this stanza:

There may be

a natural explanation

to this mystical exchange

but let’s not delve into that.

Let’s relish the vibrant place

we have stumbled into,

and live from this moment

into all other moments,

knowing this is as

real as your hand

in mine.

Stunningly beautiful!

PS. Substack does need a few more formatting degrees of freedom especially for poetry!
