To Walt Whitman

As you spoke of me once, I now speak of you
Speak to you, through ages of time
Wond’ring how far a message can travel
If nature can carry it right to the stars – and beyond
Far beyond all our knowledge
Beyond any place human eyes ever saw
Where no one shall see the past or the future
All there is present, and all will be present
The ones we have lost, the ones that have left us
They live on in a space undefined
A sign of their life, a signature, postcard, 
or poem perhaps, a poem for their thoughts
Words they have spoken, dreams they have dreamt
Memories, melodies, heavy, important
You gave us freedom of speech long ago
So now I can write whatever I want to
And still in deciding the subject and matter
I too must remember the unified men
The women the same as their male counterparts
Equal and perfect and ever divine
As you spoke of me once, I now speak of you
The past and the future, both yours and both mine.
