Summary
Like a hurricane,
Your presence swept over me
Dotting and possessing
Without caution but zeal
Defiling all warnings
Scaling all heights
Over-stepping all boundaries
My presence made you tremble
And I crumbled before yours
Worries of uncertainty
But what we share, spanned us dry
And voila!
Our beings spoke the silent language
Our eyes bore the joy of discovery
And the evidence of yester yearnings
Confused everyone else is
They all are concerned
They surely are
For a future heavy with uncertain birth
Afraid of being a catalyst to err
You have come a long way
Crossing many dry rivers
I have not travelled less
Cascading slippery mountains and narrow bridges
Broken at times we both felt, wishing to end it all
But the unknown knowledge we felt
Of what is yet to be
Powered our will
Quietly illuminates us
In the serenity of a world we both share
With no neighbours, nor folks
