Less Alone

Last week you stared into my eyes And said you felt like you knew me Suddenly, I fell into your world, That was overwhelmed by a sandstorm, Debris and dust stung my eyes and made me sneeze, I couldn’t see my hand inches from my face, Much less the path ahead, The only clarity I had was to journey forward, And leave everything, especially her, behind. My breathe caught in my mouth and I nodded In agreement because the image of samsara inside you Looked a lot like mine, Except my inner visions were in pastels versus brown and white. I left you feeling less alone.
