Like a twin answering me
28-29 March 2015
Birds flocked together
Wings outstretched soaring so high
Dark dots in blue skies
Cyan thoughts in indigo
Roared to the front of my mind
Its boughs vibrant red
The bougainvillea awoke
Flowers bursting through
As spring blossomed so did I
In rapture of oncoming
Eyelids closed looked through
The curtains of the unknown
To worlds beneath wraps
Hidden universes leapt
Into mind’s inner callings
Birds of paradise
Within struts of many choose
Calling to their mate
You hear my call and call back
Like a twin answering me
Questions, anger, pour
Like salt into bleeding wounds
Scorching births twin selves
Amidst flames of remembrance
Souls’ eyes meet unwavering
Sun soothing cast rays
Of mellow and healing warmth
Birds sang merrily
Time came for celebration
As dark and light united
