A Vague Memory of Someone I Think I Remember

Where were you on that day that I met you? On that day that you leaned against the wind lost in thought? Were you in the forest seeking a spot where the sunlight bled through? Were you on the beach looking for that dry spot of sand you could sink your toes into? Were you flying through the storm-clouds looking for a clearing? Did you recognize me as a limb on the same tree? As the same handful of water that quenched thirst? Was I to you a different piece to the same being? Were you running through fields of roseless thorns looking for a patch of rye? Did you acquire that embrace that was so long denied you? Did you find a window in that house? And if you did was light shining through it? Did the light burn your skin? Or did it kiss you? Have you committed a crime that was committed against you? Did the punishment that your transgressors avoided, find you? Have you dived and looked for Atlantis as if it was all that mattered? Were the shining lights of the city too great for you to hold back your tears? Did that gust of wind smother the flames in the forest and take you past the sky and into the heavens themselves? Were you soaring high with the stars, watching trees sprout from the infertile sands? Did the skies open up? Did the beyond move closer so you could reach out and touch it? Did He touch your face as tears of serenity streamed down running to His hand to evaporate into a place you'd never have to discover again? Show me.
