You noticed me
Pearl
From a hidden treasure
A sparkle of life
A speck of light
Reflected
In the abyss
Of long forgotten dreams
Waiting to be lived
Your words spell
Desire,
That capital
Of acknowledged aspirations
Conquered
Fears, long-overdue
Pride, subdued by
A Self transformed
Alike
A lotus in the pond
We are akin
Strikingly colourful
Feathers
Of the peacock’s tale
Guarding the gate of heaven
Did you know?

You
Me
Mirrors
Light upon light
Cheshire grinning
Bear hugging back
Yes,
There’s perpetual bliss
In rosewood carvings
Ageless art
Delicate curbs
Profoundly mundane encounters
Yet
Ever so holy
Is this joy
Of
Reunion
