POEM|HERE BEGINS A STORY.

Free Link

Before I knew your name, my soul had already leaned toward you like a sunflower bending toward a light it cannot see but feels in every golden vein.

Before I knew your voice, I heard the hush of its music in the quiet between my thoughts, a rhythm that made my silence softer.

Before I knew your face, your presence lived inside me in dreams I could not recall, in a warmth I could not name.

It was not recognition of sight or sound, but of something older a memory the heart carries from lifetimes before this one.

And when the world finally revealed you, I did not think, "Here is someone new." I whispered instead, "Ah… there you are. I've been waiting."

I did not think, "Here begins a story." I thought instead, "At last… the story continues."

Thank you for reading…
