a soft, slight flicker of hope today
touched lightly near my soul
strangely filled an emptiness
—then quickly by me stole.
a certain awareness startled me
—I knew you once before,
a promise, not quite legible
surged in me once more.
yesterday stirred as tomorrow
splashed across your eyes
and something echoed infinity
and long-ago goodbyes.
a welcome fleeting moment,
a microscopic glance,
today our paths converged to bring
reunion—quite by chance.
