Some things are beyond approach;<\/p>\n
The things that are worth it aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It all really does depend on one\u2019s<\/p>\n
Approach; a healthy approach will<\/p>\n
Have healthy consequences; not such<\/p>\n
A healthy approach\u2026 well, let\u2019s just<\/p>\n
Say those consequences better have a<\/p>\n
Three-piece, foulard lawyer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With that said, let us approach the<\/p>\n
Concept of approach with some<\/p>\n
Sensitivity, if not downright caution:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How to broach approach?<\/p>\n
Only a direct approach would<\/p>\n
Do approach justice, I\u2019m sure<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Things on the same page do not<\/p>\n
Require approach: a man need not<\/p>\n
Approach his own mind to know<\/p>\n
What he himself is thinking; just<\/p>\n
As a woman need not approach<\/p>\n
Her own heart to know what she<\/p>\n
Herself is feeling (Obviously we<\/p>\n
Talk here of a man and woman not<\/p>\n
Delusional or in denial \u2013 that would<\/p>\n
Be a whole other poem altogether)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Things on different pages \u2013 most<\/p>\n
Certainly things in different books<\/p>\n
On different shelves \u2013 require an<\/p>\n
Approach of some extent, where<\/p>\n
One or the other, or both parties<\/p>\n
Involved approach one another.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yehuda approached him<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two entities, Yehuda and Yosef;<\/p>\n
Both kings in their own right, kings<\/p>\n
And the fathers of kings, royalty,<\/p>\n
Personalities both so illustrious<\/p>\n
And both so profound one would<\/p>\n
Be hard pressed to envision them<\/p>\n
Both in the same room, together<\/p>\n
Without one trying to outwit the<\/p>\n
Other<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But these aren\u2019t regular men; their<\/p>\n
Greatness does not highlight another\u2019s<\/p>\n
Weakness; their luminance does not<\/p>\n
Overshadow another\u2019s light \u2013 indeed,<\/p>\n
They inspire, their power makes all<\/p>\n
Around them more powerful, their<\/p>\n
Strength makes all around them<\/p>\n
Stronger<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This was Yehuda\u2019s approach to<\/p>\n
Yosef, bridging the gaps created<\/p>\n
Before, transcending the differences<\/p>\n
Of a time passed \u2013<\/p>\n
Approaching perfection<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And when that happens\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do not be afraid of descending to Egypt
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
For as a great nation I shall establish
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
You there<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will go down with you to Egypt<\/p>\n
And I will also bring you up<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we are one, united, embracing one<\/p>\n
Another, there is no need to fear any descent,<\/p>\n
Not even into the confines of Egypt \u2013 for when<\/p>\n
We are one, when we approach one another<\/p>\n
He is with us\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we approach \u2013 not reproach \u2013<\/p>\n
Each other, then even in Egypt<\/p>\n
In the most stifling of all situations,<\/p>\n
We could do anything, light anything<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Tis indeed an approach to life<\/p>\n
An approach that brings life<\/p>\n
An approach that gives life\u2026<\/p>\n
If that is not a poetic approach<\/p>\n
What is?<\/p>\n
