lost familiar, found in us

I saw him ponder in the night, silently sitting by the tree

legs close to his chest, hands on his knees

there was just something about him

and the look on his face

when the moonlight touched his skin...

those tired eyes,

it made me sit by his side and take his hand gently in mine

leaving us in comfortable stillness

until the night,

slowly reached the fragile dawn

those moments of steady peace

between two fractured souls,

just sharing heartbeats and breaths under the star-filled sky

not fearing the heavy clouds

or the promise of rain

late summer wind touching us in sweet murmurs

singing of something yet unknown

but that was always with us

in the end

swirling in our blood

like a salty storm

sticking to the parched lips

as we prepared ourselves to dive

I saw him ponder in the night, silently sitting by the tree

legs close to his chest, hands on his knees

we have the same roots to keep us strong

all there is needed is a helping hand

and a heart,

wiling to sway in the same rhythm

those sound made for us to hear

now

just

l i s t e n

it’s there

in y o u
