a soft, slight flicker of hope today
touched lightly near my soul<\/p>\n\n\n\n
strangely filled an emptiness
\u2014then quickly by me stole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a certain awareness startled me
\u2014I knew you once before,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a promise, not quite legible
surged in me once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yesterday stirred as tomorrow
splashed across your eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and something echoed infinity
and long-ago goodbyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a welcome fleeting moment,
a microscopic glance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
today our paths converged to bring
reunion\u2014quite by chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
