turning over the leaves
of a newly bought diary -
empty pages
awaiting to be filled
with
memories of
a girl still not met..

What is the remotest island in the world?
Tristan da Cunha? Pitcairn?
Which one do you compare to?
How does it feel to be alone
amidst a crowd of friends?
Standing out from it
like a lighthouse -
giving hope to others
even in the darkest night,
but isolated,
nowhere to hide...
from yourself.
Widen your horizon -
become open-minded.
Be generous
and grant a date!
Whom?
Me,
Marie....

Coming home from abroad,
the first thing I see
on the front wall
of the station concourse
is the coat of arms
reminding me
that it was our unity
that made our strength -
long ago...
where are you now, Marie....
...Marie?
