In a Language Not of Words
Every day I awaken
To meet a strange and curious girl.
I cannot possibly recognise her assessment,
So I am cautious...
Initially, she appears timid,
With a reticent stance,
Yet sports an absolute
Confidence.
She doesn't let me in at first,
Giving short
And vacant
Responses.
With an expressionless countenance.
I examine her familiar eyes,
Avid to explore the depths of her eloquent mind.
Speaking through me,
Her righteous manner strikes familiarity.
And in a language not of words,
Our thoughts flow parallel.
I lay in slumber,
Comfortably embraced.
She holds me in reverence,
Protective of my entity.
She doesn't sleep.
She is my unconsciousness.
