meeting Elisete (11 Oct 2009)

I can remember so timidly
knocking on the door
hoping all hope
I would recognise
the face on the other side

I’m a small child in a big city
I don’t speak this tongue
the adventure began
the moment I knocked

I remember the door opening
a shot of anguish set my face
Who is this? And she smiles
she smiles the welcomes
of a thousand languages

I am enamoured, taken within her
large smile, her large embrace,
she is freedom and passion
she flies off every night
she flies home every morning
she aids my dreams in night and day

I only faintly knew then, how much
I needed to meet her, how she opened
the light in my heart, an inch more
more into truth she nudges me

~

Elesete; you came at the precise moment
I needed you
every journey into your heart
has opened mine further. You
are surely my most timely
most brimming angel, bringing me
home to your heart and family

holding my heart when it emptied
and filling it again with joy
I breathe pure in your garden
eyes, I awake to your dawn
gaze, so bright and I can only
say Thank You for shining over me
