Reflection On Closeness

 

Not every touch carries meaning,

But every thought of you

It is intricately woven into my essence.

Closeness transcends mere physical presence;

It is a dialogue expressed in unspoken ways.

 

I am not lost;

I am grounded

In the path of your shadow,

Like a truth that requires no validation,

Yet it is continuously affirmed.

In the silence that softly speaks your name.

 

You are not merely a necessity;

You embody warmth

that comforts without burning,

An intimacy that does not confine,

And a passion that does not consume

But evolves into thought,

into words,

And into a nuanced tapestry of meaning.

 

If your desire is fire,

Then mine is light —

both inevitable,

Both are seeking the same profound touch of truth.

Echo Of Existence

 

You will know you have truly lived.

When you hear the echo of your voice

In the silence of those who held you dear.

When your footsteps leave their imprint

In the snow of your journey,

And you have tasted both the bitterness of loss

and the sweetness of new beginnings.

 

You will know you have truly lived

When your passion transcends mere longing

and ignites a fire within your spirit.

When love becomes more than just a word,

But a root that grows deep within you,

And you lose yourself in its embrace,

only to be rediscovered,

etched in the fabric of time

like an unpublished poem

that carries the essence of eternity.

 

When you feel the weight

of words left unspoken,

And silence becomes your greatest teacher

while restlessness drives your ambition.

When you bear the burden of years

like a crown of shattered dreams

Yet still laugh with a heart full of joy,

Embracing the world you carry within.

 

You will know when you reconnect

With the child you once were,

And in her innocence,

Find the wisdom you seek.

If you have welcomed your lost selves home,

and embraced your quiet as part of life’s symphony.

If you have wandered to discover your true self,

been broken only to be made whole again,

and carried the weight of life

while standing steadfast—

 

 You will know you have truly lived.
