I saw it in me
the tiny emptiness that had caressed my heart.
I could smile,
I could laugh
Yet, I felt incomplete.
I saw it in me
to travel around the world
to find the spark to fill my incompleteness.
I got lost on the way
however, I did not forget to pray.
I felt unrealized
a bit stricken and shallow
yet, I never stopped breathing.
It was just a feeling, It only needed a healing.
I saw it in me
to find her - ' the midnight's moonshine'
her... the affulgent bliss of my life.
She left her space
like a blink of a meteor
eliminating the ups and downs of the sky
and came to me - now, we are one.
We have settled in each other's arms.
