LINES OF THOUGHT © 2016

I knew you would arrive that afternoon and waited in silence,

Like one who keeps a secret in the breeze.

I suffered for your message, which came through the night,

Each word of yours soothed what ached inside, and it healed right.

My heart softened and felt joy once more,

As if the whole world fit in a single moment, so tender and pure.

I fell asleep feeling the happiness of the next day, which surely would return.

For Nicola.
