Chances Are
"Maybe in some parallel universe we found each other.....we are meant to run toward one another....chances are, I'll never know." Erin Van Vuren
Darkness lingers
Before the dawn
Of awareness and revelation.
I stretch out my hand
And touch the air.
I can feel it:
The vibration
Of a parallel universe.
*
From the other world
You step in, a seeming
Vision and not reality.
Yet, when my eyes
Reach yours,
I know the secret:
You are trespassing
Into my sphere of time.
*
For long moments
All thought is suspended,
I am transfixed
By your gaze.
Longing fills me,
I desire it all
But you are only mine for
A mere macrocosm in time.
*
Time's vibration
Crescendos, then settles.
You know it, too:
Here, wrapped within
Our private cosmos
We love and
Know each other
To the depths of our being.
*
But of a sudden,
A flash of light,
The earth trembles.
You are gone and
My heart falters.
Like grains of sand
Through fingers,
Our time has vanished.
*
Whispers, echoes –
Nothing more –
Remain in the dawn.
The brief eclipse
Of love so divinely felt
Only moments ago
Disperses in the morning air.
You aren't even a memory.
*
Parallel universe and
Star crossed lovers?
Still, we don’t recall
Each other’s visage,
Cannot search high and low
Throughout the universes
To find our destination:
Obscure, unfathomable love.
*
Thus, a moment
Is suspended in time.
The rarest opportunity
Escapes swiftly
Like the morning dew.
We are none the wiser
Nor will we ever know
The treasure that was missed.
