Awakening

My soul heard you in the distance before my ears did;
Giddy and nervous but without reservations, like a little kid
Anticipation for a reconnection of long long ago
Another life, another place, perhaps. I don’t even know.
There is really no need to explain. It’s okay to just be.
There is a moment of lucidity when you are finally free.
When you are not alone and you are not lost in dreams
Ethereal beams of light start bursting through the seams.
Whatever souls are made of, I'm sure ours must be the same.
Intertwined through divinity but called by a different name.
I can feel you all around me, your presence in the air.
Absentmindedly, I run my fingers through my hair.
I smile and think about when I first saw your eyes -
I saw your sadness and I saw your beauty, so very wise.
I felt your vulnerability that you did not want to show.
Rest assured, you are safe with me because I already know.
Like a stained glass window, your brilliant colors captivate.
You are beautiful and abstract, as so hearts gravitate.
I will protect you from the music when silence is all you need.
I will take you dancing in the rain when your senses long to be freed.
I will watch you take flight when you feel the need to explore.
I will only ask for what you give, never anything more.
Because all that you are is all that I could possibly ever want.
You’re an amazing being with an amazing heart, my love, my confidant.
